It flexes fine, especially when one uses techflex or expando.
I just made a pair yesterday. It's what hydra, bumblebees use.
I haven't heard of any problems with flexing.
Adding techflex cannot make it more flexible. It's simply a layer of protection.
And it *IS* more brittle than a rubber jacket, although it's been working out just fine for our uses.
Guess I should've worded that different.
It makes coiling easier.
Which is what I thought she was getting at.

EDIT:
Also I don't think we really have to worry about it being brittle or not flexible.
It isn't as flexible as canare quad but it is pretty flexible.
I for one don't beat on my cables.
they are pretty rugged believe it or not.
We have it at my work.
