Campy RD cable housing

Tim McTeague said:

I am going to replace my Shimano RD w/Jtek adapter for a Campagnolo Centaur
rear derailleur. However, my Campy rear cable housing was cut down for use
with the Jtek adapter and will be too short for the new shifter. I am
having a devil of a time finding a replacement. Every place I check just
wants to sell me the entire Campagnolo cable set. Anyone have a spare they
want to throw my way or know where I can get one? Thanks.

Tim:

Any standard cable housing will do just fine. Generic from the lbs
purchased by the foot.

Prolly less than $2 US for what you need.

Amazing indeed. I did find I had some black compressionless housing I can
cut down. I tried several bike shops looking for Campagnolo rear derailleur
cable and every shop offers only Shimano. I have some spare Shimano cables
so perhaps they can fit but I thought the "buttons" were different shapes
between the brands. One fairly large shop told me I had to buy the entire
Campy replacement cable kit to get a rear inner cable! Baltimore seems to
be a Shimano kind of town I guess.

There's nothing unique about Campy housing or shifter cables. Campy
brake cables have smaller heads than Shimano, but that can be
addressed with 10 seconds on a bench grinder, or 2 minutes with some
sandpaper. Otherwise, any compatibility issues are imaginary.
