alt Hacker NewsIf you want to pull another cable:
- secure a string to the old cable
- pull the cable out the other end, pulling the string through
- secure the string to the new cable
- pull the string out the other end, pulling the new cable into position

You forgot to also tie another piece of string to the new cable so that you pull the new cable AND this other bit of string through.
This gives you a piece of string in the conduit run to be able to pull through the next thing days/weeks/years later.

Does someone have a recommendation for a specific material the string should be made of?
Excuse me to hijack this comment adinisom.
I wanted to reach you regarding your comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44547866 Would you be willing to maybe elaborate on the problems caused - I've planned to adopt Miro Sameks for an application? DM me via my about me, if interested. Would be very thankful.
Pull a string alongside the new cable, too, and tie it off on both ends. Always leave a pull string in the conduit.
