i wouldnt think so. i would say binding would yield the quality of the cable and also the length. MM cable is one of the longest. my Hays cable was shorter than my MM cable is now and i think a short cable can cause a ratchety cable and/or binding
A cable near heat can start to degrade and get notchy. There are inner liners/sheaths that don't take to heat very well. The cable can look ok on the outside but drags internally.
ok my mm cable came in today and it going in on monday..cant wait..hopefully it will withstand heat better than the jegs one..
