I've got a spool of waxed lacing tape from back when doing Milspec wiring. I wonder if they allow zip ties now?
At any rate, I'm not sure how they could be used to retain the cable. You mean to just loop it loosely around the head tube and over the cable ? Or one around the head tube retaining a second around the cable? (You could do this with one piece of braiding tape.)
