Why not turn it 90 degrees and insert the wire into the channels?

Also.

Corrugated Plastic. Coroplast. I've seen several ways of "spelling" it, but it's really just a contraction.

It'll bend quite a bit. I made a rear fender for my mountain bike out of it, and it could bend more if I wanted. Mine is just held on by zip ties and tension.

This is a lot like my friend's fender. His reinforced front fender curves downward from the down tube instead of being mounted on the fork, as mine is. I'll be working on better fender solutions this winter, so perhaps some wire research will be done.
