The shift cables in the Schwinn package I received were too wide to fit in the shifters.
The Campy version of the Jagwire stainless shift cables (product # 75SS2300, $5.49) fit very well, though they don't have the spherical bottom that the Simplex cables had.
SRAM/Shimano/Suntour shift cable heads have always been larger than Campagnolo/Simplex/Mavic/etc heads.
