In Reply to: One more concern with twisting the Anticables... posted by Al Sekela on December 22, 2006 at 13:33:04:
a few too many sharp bends and the cable will break in 2 pieces.
even though this wire is softer than coat hanger, it can get brittle & break apart like one.i don't recomend actually twisting-up the anti-cables, just place the 2 runs side by side and gently lay one run over the other and so on to make a braid. having 2 people makes this a snap and will cause less wear & tear on the cable, especially with a longer run. 3-4 twists per foot didn't seem to stress the cable whatsoever.
one nice attribute is now the twisted cables don't riiinnnnngggggg when they are struck, say with a fingernail. when separated, mine vibe like a gong for 30 secs or more. it could be felt, not heard. now the cables barely vibrate.
