I'm with canopus on this one. Have a closer look at the jtek pully. The cable wraps around this pully and crosses over a flat spot. If you are looking at the drivetrain, this flat spot should be in roughly the 1 to 2 o'clock position.

Also, it doesnt hurt to make sure that all your cable housing butt up against the guides and properly inside your brake lever.
