I'm going to keep my eye open for.the perfect splice and try out the knot suggested earlier and you can't stop me lol
I ask again...how often are you breaking cables? How often are you in a place where a broken cable won't allow you to get back to a place of safety or repair (car, home, bike shop, etc.)? If you can splice a cable in the field, why can't you just replace the entire cable?
