I wonder if they used derailler cable instead of brake cable. From what I can tell, there is a 1.5mm difference.

BTW: Walmart even sells bulk cable:

- Promax Inner Cables for Brakes (100 pcs/ $120)
- Promax Inner Cables for Derailers (100 pcs/ $120)
- Promax Outer Casing for Brake Cables (97 ft /$23)
- Promax Outer Casing for Derailluer Cables, 4mm (97 ft / $38)

I'm not ready to buy that much stuff. But, it might interest someone.
