Thank you!

I have two more questions, still about cable installation:

First:

I have TEKTRO RL340 levers (takes brake cable type: 1.5-1.6 mm) and TEKTRO R539 calipers. The head of my current brake cable (this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/290794262586?...84.m1439.l2649) won't fit through the aero "passage" in the lever hoods, although it does fit in the larger of the two cable end holes on the rotating piece in the actuated lever (can't explain this better as I don't know the terminology).

Moreover, the other end of this cable definitely doesn't fit into the hole in the calipers. Neither would this: http://www.amazon.ca/Shimano-Stainle...no+brake+cable, I imagine, since it looks like exactly the cable, except naked and shimano branded.

Is there a special cable I should be using with different lever and caliper inserts?
