Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Yes, I have plenty @ $8.00 inc. postage. Each additional @6.50pr. But you might not have seen mine. Mine have a wire on the tire same as in the photo, then black Vinyl tubing, and a flat stamped A shaped mounting part, vs the formed wire most have.

There are nicer ones, that use a sprung scraper blade, made in France, I believe, but they're usually pricier.
