Replacing coolant hoses on my 2012 Tenere. I know some poo-poo using worm-gear type hose clamps due to their inability to compensate for expansion and contraction over normal use, but the OEM clamps have worked well for over 10 years.
Has anyone attempted to use the spring clamps or other types, or should I just re-use the worm gear clamps?

There are better and worse hose clamps. Some research might be needed.
