My notes say:

Campy end barrel diameter: 0.159" (4.04 mm)

Okay, there you go: I'll use Campy cables next time--it looks as if they should fit with room to spare. I guess I've missed out on a lot by never having any Campagnolo gear--it's all sort of a black box to me.


Wait, now that I think of it, my PX-10 does have a Campy down-tube cable guide. And both it and my Gitane have Campy hubs. That's it, though, I think.
