Need some help: What goes in this cable stop?
Another surprise building the older Bianchi. The chainstay cable stop is pretty small, and while it's very tight, a piece of shifter cable housing will fit through it. This bike is definitely built for non full housing, as it has head tube stops/adjusters and an under BB cable guide. What piece of hardware do I need to make this work? Please and thank you!

Yes you need a stepped cable housing Ferrule like this. Check with your local bike shop because they come in different sizes

A quick addition from one who's just addressed this issue: make sure it fits in the cable stop as snuggly as possible. If there's too much play at the stop, the housing will pull at a funny (bad) angle.

Thanks; Just took advantage of the 30% sale and ordered some stuff at Velo Orange, including one of these. Appreciate the offer though.
