Why doesn't Campy include crimp on cable end caps?
I can't believe it's a matter of cost. Does anyone not use them? It's just damn annoying!

Campy does not include any crimp ends with their cablesets.

I don't use crimp on ones..brass from Wheelsmanufacturing.

Why does shimano use cheapo plastic ones even on $zillion DA(mech)?

Do they? Last DA I installed used the old lead crimp-on type. The world's just going to hell (I believe that's a quote from my grandfather).

I know, that's my beef.
And they're usually sold in packs of a billion or two. I guess I'll need to start some new builds. You'll be getting my order soon.
