Cable issues

Giving my Moser a freshen up but have confused myself with the new cables.

First exhibit A: I stripped the cables off of the bike before moving house and lost the original fittings like a chump. Now none of the jagwire fittings fit in this hole properly. Do I need something specific to go in there?

Secondly, exhibit B,C,D: Does it really matter where they go? I'm used to plain old ferrules and these are all slightly different.

All help would be great.

RE:A
You can jam the cable in there and use a zip tie to hold in place. Not elegant but it works.

Damn, I thought that might be the case. I might go ask at some bike shops if they have any lying around, any idea what they are called?

What you need is called a stepped ferrule. Available from SJS cycles. A common issue with old Italian frames (and maybe new ones too)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
