Rant: Why does every shop in Denver set torque arms with zip ties?

Stopped by five different shops around town last month and every single one had a torque arm dangling from a zip tie instead of actually bolted to the frame, so has anyone here ever had one of those pop off mid-ride or am I overreacting?

That's basically riding with a ticking time bomb between your legs.

Lost a wheel at 25 mph last summer because of a zip tie torque arm, so yeah, I'd say you're NOT overreacting at all. Guess I've got a death wish since I keep riding the same setup.
