Default Serving help needed

Two of my bows with winners choice strings need the little loops that go around the cam pegs reserved. (only the outer serving at this point is damaged)
Is there a trick to only serving the small loop?
How do you feed the serving through the hole while keeping it tight?
or is that out of the question?

I also noticed my bows with Zebra twist have NO serving in this area (around the peg loop).
Would it be OK to just remove the damaged serving from the winners choice strings and allow the string material to ride on the pole unprotected as the zebra twist does?

Any help or tips are much appreciated.- Thanks

Dave,
I don't put end servings on any of my strings and it works fine. The string actually is fairly protected while on the pegs and is not nescessary. However, depending on how WC strings are served, removing the "loop" serving might loosen the actual end serving because the end serving overlaps the "loop" serving......If you look at your string that will (should) make sense...I think.

Some sense, if I'm reading you right- the frayed portion of the loop may be conected to/part of the entire serving for that string/cable?
If so, when I go to take it off-I may accidentally unserve the whole thing?

Could a drop of stratigically placed superglue stop that from occuring naturally?

....or you could tie a "head off" knot or two where the two overlap just in case.
