I'm about to purchase a front break setup for my SS build and I just wanted to be sure it would all be compatible. Here are the parts.

Paul E-Lever
Torelli cable
Shimano Ultegra caliper or Campy Chorus

The reason why I'm concerned is because the E-Lever takes MTB style cable. The Torelli cable has both road and mtb ends but I've never setup a brake system from scratch so I just want to be sure.

Also, I can cut the cable to the length I need? Do the ends reattach? How does that work?
