Default Fraying!

I shot yesterday for the first time this year. I have put on Sims cable dampeners and a game tracker teflon slide. I have the dampeners far enough in front of the slide that I think it just touches the dampeners on release. I have the cable guard (below the grip) turned enough for fletching clearance and by my eyeballing I believe that the string will clear the slide easily.
Now my problem, after about 30-45 min I noticed a frayed spot on the string! It is above the cable slide and below the serving. Any thoughts??? I did lower my draw weight to about 60lbs from 65lbs, would this affect it? Could the cable dampeners be stopping the slide and the string " catch" the slide (for lack of a better term)?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
