Couple of options:

1) Steal them from parked bicycles leaving a nicely written note explaining that you've borrowed the clips as the owner obviously wasn't using them at the time.

2) Head to a bike shop (with biscuits) and ask if there are any lurking in the workshop.

And the process can be made EVEN MORE RAPID if, instead of posting your query on here, you spend that time searching for the bit online in the first place 😉

Smart? You want smart???

Just use a ziptie until a clip turns up under your pillow.

Oi, oi, you started it with the cocky bastid business!

I was just trying to help and you verily (and cockily) threw it back in my face cos my solution would take too long and you need the clips now, now, NOW like some sort of instantly gratifying commodity that's spewed from your telly.

Well, in reply to your original reply to my suggestion: yes, it is indeed quicker to buy the clips online but they probably won't be posted until Monday now, whereas turning up with 50p's worth of bourbon biscuits could get you the clips tomorrow at your LBS.

(Struts off like a cocky cock-cock)

Oooooheeeeee, someone's got their knickers proper twisted! 😉

Hidden in my original post was a serious suggestion. Sorry if my answer was not simple enough, so here it is, diluted: pop into a bike shop.

Ye gods, I always told myself I'd never get into one of these forum slanging matches but it's sooooo hard not to! 😛

Use zip-ties. Seriously.

I went to all the bother of arranging a STW-group buy from the US when they weren't available over here and I wish I'd not bothered. They're just too easily knocked off and lost.
