Took the bike out for a long ride today. Seems fine. Of course it seemed fine for two months when I first put it together. Now I am concerned about what is under the rest of the ferrules and are all of the rest of my cuts perfect? I know I did not file them down. When will the next failure show itself? Will it be catastrophic? Will I lose my brakes coming down a hill? Oh boy!! With all the things that can go wrong on a bike, I added cables that are extremely picky about perfection. I guess I will need to strip it down and start over if I want peace of mind?
