I do the three-pass method with the pull-pull cables, but I make all 
three passes through the sleeve.  The three passes of the cables 
naturally fit perfectly in the sleeve and, when you crimp the sleeve, 
there's no way the loop can pull through it.  No failures in hundreds 
(maybe thousands) of flights.
