RL720 lever, which cable?
Hi all. I just set up my brakes, using RL720 lever and the terminated cable end does not sit flush inside the lever, it's a bit too wide

do I need to jam it in or is there more than 1 size "bullet" type cable?

Thanks

A road cable end will never sit flush inside that hole (unless you drill it out). Just leave it alone.
