Not sure if I understand what you mean by "cycling" of the rope.

Suppose I lead a pitch, arrive at a stance and create a standard three piece gear anchor with a single power point in the form of a locking biner. Then I tie into this power point with a clove hitch, weight it, take my partner off belay, pull in the slack and bring him up. Where is the "cycling" you mention?

(I generally tie in with an eight-on-a-bight in this situation, but I don't see anything wrong with the clove, which makes me wonder what I'm missing...)
