BTW- you really don't want to ride with that cable who's strength is total inadequate for brake purposes. It can and will fail in an emergency situation, but probably not until then.
No, sorry, that actually IS the brake cable. What you can't see is the narrow portion of the head, because it is inside the hole of the cable stop. I know it is the brake cable because A) it has a mushroom-shaped head with small and large diameter portions, B) the cable itself is thicker than the shifter cables, and C) I had to cut a standard mountain brake cable head off of the other end of the cable.
