quick question re shimano vs campy cables

[vqdriver]

i was shopping for some nokons and noticed that they have kits for campy systems and shimano systems. what's the difference?

[Marcusaurelius]

The end of campagnolo derailleur cables are smaller than the ends on shimano derailleur cable (not interchangeable).

You can grind the end of the Shimano cables to work... I personally just use either OEM Campy or PBK (I just bought a few of their Campy compatible sets...they seem just fine.)

thanks.
my chorus kit came with campy cables so i didn't even notice.
so shimano and campy use different shift cables? that seems pretty pointless.
is that all?

Rear hubs.

Shifter innards.

People. Shimano folk can't ride Campy, and verse vice-a.
