I don't know if this happened through use or if it's normally this way, but I noticed that the wire near the back of the M5 has a sheeth covering that isn't really attached to anything and seems frayed. I haven't done anything extreme with it, but I'm wondering if I should remove the ziptie and stuff it back in there and re-tighten it. http://imgur.com/BX4Yo8q
If it's purely aesthetics then I wont bother, but if it has to do with protection of the wire/preventing too much bending then I'd like to give it a fix.
Shaun: Yes, remove the ziptie and re-insert the sheathing. All that has happened is that has worked its way back out. It's not "frayed" -- that's just the natural state of that kind of sheathing. Andy.
Thanks Andy, Should I put with within the rubber outer sheath? Or should I put it around all the wires and secure it with the ziptie
I'd put it within the heatshrink (rubber) sheath -- it's all about protecting the inner wires, so let that be your guide. Andy
Shaun contact the support team. They may be able to offer you some specific suggestions on how to re-install or offer other solutions.
Hey guys thanks for the concern. I just cut the ziptie and put the sheath OVER the rubber heat strink since it was too frayed to put inside it. I then re-ziptied making sure it was securing the rubber heatshrink to the frame. I tested it out with no problems, I wanted to make sure there wasn't any significant bending in the wire.
I know it's not pretty, but it feels pretty solid in there, and the extra zip-ties kind of restrict the bending in the area. Gary and Andy, I've contacted the support team, I will post what they say!
