I bought some cross top levers from SJS:http://www.sjscycles.co.uk//images/products/12644promax_xl.jpg
I'm trying to sort out the proper cables for these without running drop levers with them. The problem I'm having is that the normal large nugget cables http://media.rei.com/media/916388.jpg
(large nugget top, pear shape bottom)
are too big to fit into the lever, the 'pear shape' cables stick out quite a way (meaning that only the thin part of the nugget is touching the lever) and gear cable nuggetshttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/3126DG0MYTL._SL500AA280.jpg
are far too small.
This is what my levers look like with the pear shapes cables in

Has anyone found cables that fit perfectly or is my best bet to use pear shapes and have them sticking out?
I found this image

but I don't know which cable I'd need or where to get them from. I think the 4th from the bottom looks like it might be best, but it might just be as small as a gear cable.
