Hi

I have scoured the discussion for the answer  but cannot find a comment. 

We have the usual orange 25 metre cable, how do you wind it? We have used an old hose reel, the usual orange wheel with the handle (cant recall its name), but when the cable is cold its awful, similarly the connectors get in the way of the cable being reeled in.....suggestions?

Ours at 2.5 years old has also turned yellow. However, the cable that came with the first van, now 11 years old, is still orange. They both get used the same amount dept on distance to EHU, as I shortened the old cable to give me a 10 m length. I suspect some change in the quality or composition of the plastic.
