I might try and get a video if no one can understand what I mean.
the construction looks exactly like my 1996 model and I didn't have any issues with catching. What kind of zip tie are you using? It could be you're using one that's too thick. Mine was about 1mm in thickness and it works flawlessly. It also looks like your ziptie may be too close to the hole the cable goes through; try sanding that down some more and see what happens.

Also, just as a note: please be careful after doing this mod. The change is significant enough to require relearning a lot about the bike's handling and output. At least if you're a beginner like me :x
