Why tie a knot? Just weave a new eye. Weakest point af any cable or rope is a knot. If you do find yourself needing to tie a knot, at least use a Figure of 8 or better. A bowline us a good knot but ut gets hot during use from friction and under a load will just break
ETA: meant weave a new eye in cable.
Personally I like synthetic, but maintenance us defitiely required.

I weaved a new eye into it once I got the bike home, I just used the knot for a quick fix in the woods. Repairs in a synthetic line are much easier.
