Just an idea, you could try stretching it out and winding it the other way so as it might equal out the kinks. But I would have thought that after a while with use, it should straighten out.

leave quite a big loop for the first loop then start winding on making sure you dont kink the loop

How old is it? Sounds like the inner walls have broken down possibly?

I bought a very lightweight trolley with very light minibore hose and the reason it's so light is because it's very thin hose and it kinked around the spindle part on me so I replaced the first 1 metre of hose with some thick, stronger minibore hose and connected it to the lighter hose after a few wraps around the spindle.....no more hose kinking up inside the centre of the coiled hosereel ever again! You could always fit a larger hose around the minibore possibly but I prefer to do it the way I did then I don't have a repeat problem fluffing around with kinked hose :)
