Sorted Huge ferrule

[Swede]

Working on a new project and the cable guides are huge. The only ferrule that fits is this thing but I’ve only got one… Any idea who makes them as I’m not getting many hits on the web?

How wide is it?

Would this work?:

8mm ferrule

Want to send me some measurements?

The ID of the cable stop on the frame (a 2002 Cannondale Silk Adventure) is 7.78mm. The OD of the ferrule is 7.52mm and that has an ID of 6.28mm.

There are no dimensions and no stock but these look right;

Why cut the cable?
There is be a cable stop on the rear mech or rear brake noodle.

I was thinking it could be printed, but now I look again there is no endstop in the braze on so all the pull is going to be on the tiny little edge of the ferrule.
you have 2 options here.
1. run a full cable as already suggested by Dree
2. fit adjusters in to move the point of stress to a better place.

I suspect that even with those ferrules you are showing, you will pull though in relatively short order.

Finally figured it out. BITD the boss on the frame could be used for either a hydraulic or if you used the big ferrule, cable operated brakes.

I might (pretty sure) have something from and old I-drive xcr that you can have. They did a similar thing with hydros and cable stops.
