I bought some nice Simplex downtube shifters for my colnago build but the holes in them seem too small to slot the gear cable into! the cable goes through but the metal stopper thing on the end of the cable is too big! did the stopper used to be smaller? (the shifters are 80s) Would it be a safe/viable option to carefully file down the stoppers on the cable in order for it to fit? Once ive overcome this problem I actually need to install the cables and set up the mechs.. this should be interesting..
Thanks many.
