Hi I have a 2 metre cable for securing wheels with. It returns to a coiled state when left. Can I do anything to decoil it so it is easier to thread through the wheels IE So it loses it's 'memory' (or default coiled state) It has a plastic coating in on it.
Not sure if it's the actual cable or plastic covering which has the coil memory.
Cheers.
see paul mckenna.i,m sure he could sort it out. 😉
lol... look into my eyes...
It's most likely gonna be the sheathing. Bit like on a telephone. You could try stripping it then putting something else on it - like the stocking type stuff used for bundles of network cables, or something similar. It's probably set in a coil by heat, but if you try heating it to uncoil it'll probably **** it anyway.
Merry Christmas.
It is a cheap lock - buy another one that isn't coiled.
Ok thanks and Merry Christmas.
When do you need it? Hang it from the ceiling with a weight on the end and leave for ages.
You'll never do it. It will be "curled" during the manufacturing process
