What you say makes perfect sense. If (big and insurmountable if in all probability) one were to lengthen one's hook (either permanently or by using an extendable one), would this not increase the hypotenuse of the triangle which would increase the wheel-hook distance thereby increasing the time available for the wire to elevate? Or does the angle of dangle have to be fairly precise? Equally could you make the wire more taut therefore reducing the time required to spring back up? This would, in a given time frame, be tantamount to raising it.
(You may be able to spot that I don't work for LM but I'm interested in the answers nonetheless!)
