it seems that the way to secure the cable is an M4 grub screw, tightened straight against the brake cable. This cant be right?
It's how the cable is secured on TriRigs and Campag Deltas. Use the correct torque, you need the right balance between grip and crush.

Yep that grub screw is straight against the cable i use to swap my tri spoke for a wider deep section front meaning i regularly had to let the cable out a bit to accommodate then re tighten but after a few times doing this the cable would start fraying just like yours so we're over tightening ours. Apart from needing to replace my front cable regularly I've never had a problem slippage/failure under braking even at race speeds despite my ham fisted mechanics. These brakes are quite shit performance wise though.

Double post! I was fiddling around with my brakes, and got a bit concerned. Ive got TRP TTV-s, and it seems that the way to secure the cable is an M4 grub screw, tightened straight against the brake cable. This cant be right?
I'd think that something like a plate would go in there to push against the entire width of the cable. The TRP TTV manual doesnt mention anything like this.
The TRP T992 does mention a "2pcs clamp system", and its exactly what I thought there should be on mine:
For this part TTV is not listed as a compatible brake.
So...whats up with this? This is what mine looks like, although not with a torque wrench, but torqued to the least I'd be comfortable heading out on the roads with:
