I'm afraid I don't understand the question?

Neither derailleur cable has an associated housing in this application if that's what you're asking.

That does answer my question! Some of the Cyclone Fronts didn’t have a stop, wanted to be sure of what I was seeing.

Smooth shifting with it being pulled through the stop?

Yeah, I thought that it was a bit weird having a stop there when my frame is designed to be used with a bare cable. The shifting seems smooth enough; smooth enough for me, anyway!

I'm in the process of building a Nishiki with SunTour parts. This thread has been a good source of info about some of the details I need to consider along the way. Thanks for sharing!
