Mine came apart on the first drive of the season this year for no appearent reason. What was odd was that it failed in two ways: 1) the square end unraveled just as Bill described. 2) The angle drive end spun itself out of the gear press fit. What this means is that one failure was excess torque in the proper direction and the other in the wrong direction. I'm thinking I must have been backing out of the garage when one failure occured, probably the square end.

Are you sure about this? I have an original in my hand here and the cable
that protrudes from the angle drive IS wound in the direction of predominant
wheel rotation (forward). If you have something different, that's not how
it's supposed to be.

In its infinite wisdom DMC wound in opposite direction of
predominant wheel rotation. All it takes is disturbance to one strand
and cable will destroy itself from wheel movement alone.
