[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 92046, member: 3"] As above, allow enough slack at the coil for pivoting but not to the point where it's floppy, then wrap the cable up the shaft firm enough to prevent any free movement, it doesn't need to be super tight but you don't want it flapping about either. Have a play around with it and if you're not noticing any unexpected falsing then it should be fine. Here's how I have mine. Note I use a couple of velcro straps to fix the cable in place at either end of the shaft.
