Steel Frame-What ferrule do I need? Help!

Hi I am almost done building my Steel De Rosa but I am stuck knowing how to configure the gear cable feeding the rear derailleur. The cable guide that is welded to the underside of the chain stay does not take a standard gear ferrule nor does the brake cable pass through the mount. I have attached some photos and hope someone can help!

You will need the older type thats got a tapered narrower section that fits into the cable guide from the derailleur side. They used to be supplied with new Campag cablesets. I may have one in the bits tin if you cant get hold of one pm me.Caveat - I buy and ride cheap, however, I reserve the right to advise on expensive kit that I have never actually used and possibly never will0

Edit:- I was replying to the first photo only, silly bugger that I am.
As kirkee says, a stepped ferrule for the derailleur cable. My last Athena set came with one, and a rubber expanding gator to be used between the cable stop and the clamped cable. Which I have not used, obviously.

Aaaah just ordered some from SJS for a couple of quid! Thanks anyway and if for some reason they don't arrive ill take you up on that very kind offer Kirkee.

I had the same problem on Dirk - SJS as you've done or get an old frame from a skip and cannibalise.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
