I'll do so ASAP, but it's at my gfs place :/
And I've taped them down underneath the bartape with electrical tape at like 5 points,
although I didn't put on the metal ferrules, and searching for a pic to describe the lever-cable set up i think i know where I've gone wrong
The holes for the cable aren't large enough for the housing to go in like a brake cable adjuster does, so i stripped a bit of the white plastic coating off, so that the metal brake husing and the cable could fit snugly inside the lever.
**Now this picture shows two metal adaptor bits which i don't have (bought the levers 2nd hand) and would have stopped me from doing the above cutting etc.
**I have a feeling this and redoing teh cables with ferrules on will solve the issue?
