Ferrules weren't provided, and the shop/distributor said to use 4mm housing without ferrules into the head tube eyelets. Campy housing is 4mm, so that seemed strange.
The shifting works fine at first install, but after a few days it needs to be adjusted, it will shift fine, but just hangs up on the cog. I thought it was cable stretch at first, but it wouldn't go away.
On the advice of a longtime bike mechanic/aircraft engineer who owns a machine shop I had my mechanic install barrel adjusters at the eyelets as a stop, he felt the housing and cable was floating around causing the problem.
So far so good, but it's only been a couple rides so far, we'll see how it goes.
