Lum, I live outside Philadelphia and we have similar weather. I rode the bike, with shoe goo attached wires in a 85 mile,8200' ride in 90+ degrees with extremely high humidity. I was sweating so much, I destroyed my Brooks Imperial saddle and was pretty dehydrated by the end. The shoe goo had no issues what so ever holding the wires on the frame
Conversely,I have ridden the bike in snowy/slushsy/ salt cover roads with no issues. I have ridden it when the temp was12 degrees Fahrenheit and it held with no issues. I have clogged the rear fender with mud, that froze into the fenders and stopped the wheels from rolling. I used a big stick to chip out the frozen mud and the shoe goo held fine. I started with wire ties but found that they loosened on the front fork over time. As tTm suggested, I ran the wires where they could not easily be seen, held them in place with blue painters tape, applied the shoe goo where needed, let it dry and removed the painters tape. That is all I have done in about 4 years of riding. With regard to the fenders, I am using Velo Orange fenders and their rolled edge is too small to run a wire through (like you can with most Honjo fenders). So that the wire was compeletly encapsulated I did the following: 1. Removed wheels 2. Mounted bike upside down in the stand 3. Cleaned the fenders won the inside with denatured alcohol 4. Ran wires and held in place with painters tape 5. Embedded the wire in a bead of goo and let dry. 6. Removed painters tape and covered those spots over with more goo. 7 Wire is adhered to the fender over its entire length and protected from the elements It helps to use the very thin wire I linked to above.
