On the 2nd picture, take the tail and loop it back through the ferrel before you crimp it. You will then have 3 strands of cable going through the ferrel. I have never had one slip using this method. just my 2c
sorry for the poor picture but I think you can see what I mean
Yeah, i agree. You could even go one further and keep passing it through, 'bulking up' so to speak before final crimping. I have to say though, i would like some adjustment on one end, even with the small weight penalty.
