Good tip. However, how then would you add after run oil without cutting off the zip tie everytime?

I think the key is to make it tight enough to hold the air filter but not too tight so you can remove it at the end of each run and add the oil.

Adding after run oil after every run is overkill. Only need to strip and add it after a full days racing. Only need to replace the zip-tie once that way. The tighter you can get it the better.

Palmaris,
Sorry that's what I meant... To rephrase, after you're done running for the day
