Need a pair of cable stops for incoming Zancanoto...these would be the old school for fitting over lever braze ons on downtube. I'm looking on ebay...seems like everyone makes their own...does it matter which ones to use?
Bike will be setup with campy 11 speed
Thanks

yea, they're all the same, made for downtube shifters.

some are better quality than others, but i've never seen one that didnt work.

i'd get the campy ones:

Huzzah!! and as mentioned, any cable stop will work but the Campag 10s ones are very nice(wee bit of lube on the threads or the barrel adjuster knob when new)....

Pretty sure they fit into Campag plastic ones but not the Campg metal ones, which is 'smaller' threaded portion.

You could probably even use a Shimano pair and change out the DS lever doo-jobbie.

I like the looks of that brass adjuster, but I'm a cheap SOB, so usually just use what I can find laying around.

The "brass" ones don't stay looking that nice very long. I would prefer stainless.

If DT braze on's have a round boss than indexed shifters don't work
Why boss needs to be square
I went thru this with an 80's Cuevas an the only choice was non indexed

if you have questions PM me

Um...have any of you tried to turn these small diameter minimalist barrel adjusters with cold/wet/gloved hands? They are damn near useless. If this is on your dry day bike, then no worries. I put the Kirk brass barrel adjusters on my C40 and C50. +1 on the Campy cable stops...the texture works pretty well in all conditions. I presume that it would be sacrilege to use Shimano.

I have these sitting in my parts box, which I have no use for. I can put them in an envelope and send them to you if you are interested.

You're referring to Huret DT shift lever braze-ons? They might not work for affixing a modern downtube shifter lever, but if all you want is a cable stop for integrated shift/brake or bar end shifters, then a regular cable stop may well work. I have Huret braze on bosses on my 1963 Jack Taylor, and modern Shimano cable stops work fine -- provided I use the Huret screws (different threading than modern Shimano). I don't think Zaconato was building frames that long ago, so it's kind of unlikely anyway.
