Cable end ball caps, cable cherries. Who knew

I spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet and in bike shops. I have never seen these until 2 days ago. Never seen any on the 1000s of bikes in the wild. Is that because nobody uses them? Maybe if you change your bike setup often otherwise maybe not. Could be more of a mountain bike thing which is not my world.

Forager Cycles came up with the idea, I think: https://foragercycles.com/products/c...40284764602534

I first saw them on Paul's Components' page.

The amazon ones are knock-off/copy cat.

EVERYTHING on Amazon is a knock-off/copycat.

Yea, I've seen those before. On the internet, never in real life.

Super niche product for sure, but if you're building a show bike or something where every detail matters, I can see the appeal. The amazon ones are definitely knock-offs, but no surprise there.
