Forgot to mention twirling the cable... it helps no end.
Haven't worked on later Ergolevers, but the original ones were okay; I never had to remove them to replace cables.

If a person designs a stupid component, I see no problem with diagnosing them, and their design as ******3d.
Unlike a condition such as Down's Syndrome, which has a very specific meaning, ******3d is a
very broad term that merely implies some sort of developmental deficiency and as such can be correctly thrown at almost anyone given the right context. Perhaps there's a highly specific medical meaning for the term, but the general sense predates the medical context.
I'd suggest that some folks need to develop a thicker skin, lest the entire notion of political correctness is discredited entirely.
Oh wait, that happened already...
