I'm with @SWijland here. I admire your perserverance in finding the exact one, but in my experience one of 4mm insert diameter should also work. I would pre-bend the outer cable a bit in the required shape and than just try it. If the exit angle under tension is still not exactly what you want, I would 'shim' the 4mm part of the ferrule just a little with a thin layer of duct-tape, teflon,.... in order to get a better fit.

If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, Muhammad must make his own ferrule.

curious if Muhammad rides a perfect and crisp shifting bike at the moment :) ?

Been out for a ride today, smooth roads only because, you know, 23mm tyres. Shifting is fine, crisp, but seems quite mechanical in comparison with my Scapin bikes (Dura Ace and Veloce). It is fast, I must admit, and takes no time at all to get up to a decent speed. Steering is a little noodly though, perhaps as I'm used to wider bars. Still, after the agony, it was fun!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
