So how do you wrap your Excal cable?

If you are a traveler, you gotta pack your machine for transport. When you arrive at your destination, you gotta assemble your excal.

If your coil is attached, depending on how long it's been assembled, you have a cable with a memory swirl. Kinda pain in the arse to re-wind around the shaft. I guess you can't get rid of the memory coil.

What I like to do, is assemble the machine with the cable hanging, from the control tube to the coil. The length is adjusted to my preference. At the coil end, I place enough slack to bend the coil without stressing the cable, and I tape the cable to the shaft. Sometimes I'll tape a little slack on the control tube end.

Now I'll grab the cable from the middle, and start wrapping around the shaft, emphasizing the wrap on the coil side. I'll secure it with tape or velcro.

Everything is easier with connectors, and smaller than Anderson one-piece straight shafts.

Hi @ejudasf .
That sounds very well thought out to me and makes sense.
A good solution, even if you don't travel that much, I think.⛱
Thanks for sharing.
