This is how I see it, too! Just cut down the heads that are a bit too big. It's not like they won't work in a Shimano set-up after I do that.
Come to think of it, we should all buy Campy-head cables since they will work in either system, AND the old French stuff!
Why did Shimano have to upset the apple cart? -- sheesh, those guys!!!
