Chief,

I actually spoke to tech services at Summit about this problem, and they recommended the following:

1) take the green strap and run it vertically, instead of horizontally, around the two platforms

2) cram those cables into the tubes as far as they will go

Since then, I haven't had any noise during transport. However, I bought mine new at the end of September, and the coating on my cables is also starting to get beat up pretty bad. Probably climbed 25 times or so...

6ptsika: Thanks for that plastic dip idea, sounds like a plan.
