I can see your point, but this happened before I put the tape on it. I didn't use zipties up high for the very reason that you stated, but after the cable got bent I started experimenting with various ways to route the WD cable, and the latest thing I did was tape it. At this point it is bent so bad that even if I straighten the cable a little it won't take much to bend it again. I think a new brake line is in order, but I don't want the same thing to happen again.
