Forgive the cross-post from AQA, but before I send my partner out on a death trap...

Weirdly my compressionless cable housing won't fit into the shifter body (Tiagra 4700).

I've trimmed some of out the outer to make it so it can fit into the hole in the shifter (there is a small cable shaped hole it should go into - a different brand cable works on the other shifter), but that seems a little naughty. Likelihood of death?

Here's a pic of what I mean:

You should be able to shove it in.

Lots of bike come with compressionless and 4700 levers anyway, my Yozokuna Reaction which is pretty thick, fit in.

I find it easier to just fit it in the best you can do, set up brake, squeeze levers to push the housing in properly.

This is genius! Hard pull, and it popped right in! Cheers.
