To tie securely, simply notch the casing of the wire on both sides, otherwise it's lileky the string will come off. Some frames with internal wiring have guides that point the wire to the exit hole near the bottom bracket or seat tube.

You should check for and remove any corrosion every month or 2, to ensure a solid complete connection & avoid pushing current through an improperly connected wire. The hub dyno is always on when rotating, so keep that in mind.

Thanks for this great description. I'm going to cut and paste it into a file where I keep information about how to maintain my bike. Eventually, I'll need to rewire, and this will come in handy!
