Hi all,

I've recently had the shift cable end pull out of the splitter  under my
 tandem's bottom tube a couple of times.

I've tried increasing the force I apply to the set screw, and just seem to
 get broken/breaking strands.  Is there anything I can do to improve this
 (e.g., treating the cable end with something before inserting it into the
 splitter)?
