Lightning Bolt quad's uses ths sceme.  It works very well as its very easy to

tuning bar for the reflector is installed, the hose clamps can be loosened and
pulled out to put a bit of tension on the wire.  Very nice arrangement.  I
believe the material is small brake hose.

There are actually to brake hoses.  A small diameter hose is placed within a
larger diameter hose.  This was done for strength.  The hose's wx very well.
