I keep snapping brake cables (specifically pulling the pear nipped off)...
The nipple is pulled clean off the cable, or the cable snaps?
The cable snaps close to where it meets the nipple
Torque wench everything.
Bolt should be at least 7Nm.
Measure back and see what's there.
Or buy my levers: I offer a no-snap guarantee.*
*I don't.
