Lightning Bolt quad's uses ths sceme.  It works very well as its very easy to
pull the wire through.  Once the wire is in and attached the feed point or a
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.
