• All the ones I've installed with those nuts have just sat flush and not cracked, including various GRX600, never used that delightful looking orange hose though so dunno if it could interfere with what 5Nm of torque would be if the spec is a little off shimanos.

  • It's pretty basic cables from uberbike, make sure I paired with the correct barbs and have used on other bikes without issue, but that was all with the older style shifters/nuts.
    Currently the game is less than a mm from flush, I daren't go further as I don't want to blow the £££ I had to spend to replace the 105 that cracked on me.
    Will I have a problem with it not being flush or is this fine and I should get on with the joys of bleeding the system?

  • I'd imagine it'll be fine, bleed it and see, a leak isn't as bad or hard to remedy as a crack.

  • My Ultegra shifters have a small gap as well when tightened to 5Nm and don't leak anywhere.
    I use luggage scale hanged on the end of spanner as a makeshift torque wrench. It's a bit fiddly, but it works OK.
