Different qualities and load strength of the zipties. Are these brand name or some generic stuff? What's the load rating of the zipties you are using? You might want to go with zipties that have a higher load rating.

Wire is a good start...but it may evenually break do to the flexing/rubbing. Got any piccies of yer setup?
