Campagnolo brake cable sheath & brake receptacle doesn't fit
Just install a new Campag brake set and found out there's a misfit b/n
the metal end of the brake cable sleeve and the metal socket (just above the tension adjuster, part #BR-RE409). The metal cap at the end of cable sleeve is just a tad larger than the slot and would not slide in. And the cable sleeve is from a Campag brake/derailleur cable set that was installed only a few weeks ago. Anyone seen similar? How can two routine Campagnolo components not able to fit into each other? Any solutions? I am thinking of shaving a thin layer off the inside of BR-RE409. Would that be the correct way to do fix it? -- |

They are included for cable stops on the frame, not the brake or lever. If you are trying to put the attached metal sleeve/ferrule into the brake, you are using shift housing for the brake. |

Thanks Campag speaker! That was indeed a stupid question. Believe it or not, I went to bed last night all frustrated by it. And then either through dream or whatever, I woke up with the thought that, as you said, maybe I can take that metal cap off and use it without. Bingo! Gosh, I was abnormal last night.... -- |
