You have two options IMO....
1 - measure the depth of the hole thing and remove that same ammount of material from the plastic casing leaving only the metal visible (i think is about 6 or 8 mm), if you do it to the millimeter the metal wont be visible. 2 - what ive done and actually did last week as to sand the casing around till I got the right OD to for the casing to get inside of the hole, which is a lot cleaner than option 1 and using the weird ferrules ive seen around. It gets more solid aswell because the casing gets tight all the way in, not like floating and depending of those ferrules. Hope this helps.

My 90's MX Leader used a 5mm brake housing all of the way through, but a buddy has a late-80's SLX Criterium that needed step down ferrules and didn't run housing through the top tube.
Might be these, ask your LBS tho.

Have a question, the step down diameter of those 5mm ferules is like 3 mm?? Asking because if the diameter is not exactly what the hole is the ferule will get lose and you create a weak point...
From my measurements at least in the EM I have, thediameter of the whole is like 4mm, or between 4 an 5 mm... sanding the casing just a little bit IMO creates a tighter link between the cable casing and the cable hole...so no weak spots where the cable can bend sharply you know. Hmmm from what I can tell loks like are 5 to 4 mm which could fit tight in the hole, the other option is just ream that thing to 5mm?? a small adjustable reamer or even maybe use a small tube with sand paper will do the work.. just remove less than half millimeter. NO idea if somebody has done it... hmm... Last edited by ultraman6970; 10-18-2018 at 06:23 PM.
