OTOH, I've never seen a brake cable that wouldn't fit Campy levers. Did you test the diameter of the larger part of the head by trying to put it into the pocket backward?
BTW- the pocket is shallow, and many heads stick out the far end when properly inserted. You'll typically see about 1/3-1/2 of the head sticking out.
No worries. Yeah, first thing I tried is putting the head in backwards, and it won't fit at all. The pocket is indeed shallow, but the head just sits around its rim, so I assumed it's not the right size.
