Thanks for that. I never picked this up but had looked at it before. Might have to try it.

And StevePGN10, I agree about the binder bolt location. I've been guilty of cranking these down to the point that strands of the cable are broken. I've wondered whether soldering these sections, combined with more sane tightening, might eliminate this problem, as Poprad mentions.
