ALso....i know what the barrel end is.....and i know what a normal road end looks like from an older 80s vintage bike. What is a pear shapped end for? Will this work in an older SLR lever?
The "pear shaped" end that I think you are referring to is for non-aero brakes. It goes on top of the brake lever and either sits inside the rubber hood if there is one, or sits on top of the lever where the housing enters from the top.
Also, if you are needing to, I'm sure that you could remove the name on the cable pretty easily.
