Non omnino gravis
Did you get lost? No one mentioned Campy in this thread, so how did you stumble across it?

The purpose of tight ratios is to be able to fine-tune the torque and cadence that the legs want at any given moment, not to keep it equal all the time. It can facilitate the latter better than wide-spaced ratios, obviously, but that's not the point.

Unless you both ride similar terrain as the OP and have very similar physical ability, what works for you doesn't have much to do with what will work for them. Even relatively small differences in physical ability and gradient have significant consequences in terms of how a gear ratio will feel to pedal.
Most people who want tight ratios also don't believe that.

It came out. Shifts fine. Used 4 bikes worth of housing.

That looks a lot better than I'd have thought!

If you want to get the ends of the cable tie flush, use a fingernail clipper to trim the ends. It makes a nice touch.
