I am trying to replace the brake and derr housings. The end caps supplied (Campy) fit easily over the derr housing, but I cannot get them to fit over the thicker brake housing. Any tricks to use here?

Thanks.

My mistake. Campy supplies end caps for the derr housings, but they are not used on the brake housings.

Der 4mm, brake 5mm. The part is called a ferrule. Any LBS will have then in stock.

If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyways.
