Campag derailleur ?

It fits into some (but not all) chain stay eyelets. On newer frames,
it's not necessary. On pretty old frames (ie, my 1971 Raleigh), it
doesn't work, either.

Just replaced the cables/casings on my Campag Record bike and there is
included in the kit (Campag) the metal casing end caps for the
brakes/derailleurs. One of the end caps is referred to as a step down
rear derailleur cap and has a smaller outside diameter at the none
casing end. Could someone please explain since I found the regular
casing end cap to fit the rear derailleur and this special end cap was
not on my bike when I took off the old cables.

Thanks

Once upon a time, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Well, used to be that the cable stop for the rear der was a small brazed on
loop that this 50% step down ferrule was used for. Still used on some steel
framesets but most have gone to a 5mm split stop, like those on the top tube
for the brake housing.
