Anyone have experience with the evo headtube cable stop and jagwire elite link cables? The link itself does not fit. I used the supplied cable stop thats reduced on one end. Seems to work it's just not pretty.

the ilink has a smaller diameter compared to a regular brake housing, so it should fit.

I have the link directly going to the headtube now. But the link itself does not fit into the cable stop. Its just rest on the face of it. Could i see a picture of your setup jerbax18?

I haven't tried a standard cable. The link just fits inside the opening, enough to be seated and not move around. Looks like the paint is to thick inside the stop. Lever feel is solid and brake feel is great. But does not fit inside stop. I don't think i will have a problem. Was just curious how others had it setup.
