Default Pull Pull steering and retracts

Hi all just got a question about some issues im having with my pull pull cable steering and retracts. The problem is everytime i retract the gear the pull pull cables get stuck and prevent the nose gear from retracting smoothly and properly. So just wondering if anyone could shed some light on how they have set up there retracts with pull pull cable steering. Photos would be great.
Cheers

I routed my pull pull cable through a short length of nyrod outer tubing attached to a very weak spring with just enough tension to always pull the slack out of my cable. Here is a picture.

That is a clever idea!
