Well bill, with all due respect, a strong personality like yours is bound to rub a few the wrong way. Not much we can do.
SEE? YOU DID IT AGAIN! (Hint: the discussion was the use of my full name BY YOU, which you claimed {now snipped BY YOU} was because that's how I sign my posts {it's not}.) You, sir, are disingenuous at best.

You lost me there.
Sigh. Someone I don't know brought me into this thread in an insulting manner, using my "full" name (even spelled right), and then claimed it's because that's how I sign my posts (and for some reason they mixed me up with jim beam of all people!). This person snips relevant content from his replies, too, so I can see why you got lost.
Easier to just re-read the threadlet.

No, just watch the torque when tightening it down.

When I torque my brake cable according to spec (5 Nm), the cable gets flattened and difficult to pull through the casing.
Llatikcuf said:
I give up. My method works for me, I will cease to make claims that it might work for others. My cables don't get flattened or dis-formed. There's a little rounded indentation on my components that the cable fits into, it doesn't get smashed. I have cables that are 7-10 years old on my bikes, no reason to replace a gear cable that's not broken or fraying, that would just be wasteful. Of course I also pickup tubes off the side of the road (left by other cyclist [censored], you know the racer type that can't be bothered to carry their own trash), I patch them and use them. Haven't bought a tube for quite some time. Call me crazy.
Yeah, why would one remove a cable? I turn up the adjuster once in a while, then turn it all the way back when I change shoes. Haven't put a wrench to my brake cable anchor in about 15 years (new cables after car crash).

>(It's the right temperature when it gets that silvery/white sparkle to it.)
You mean the flux, when you say silvery/white sparkle, not the metal, don't you?
Also in an earlier post you mentioned a $2 torch. Where does one find a $2 torch? Hell, I'd be happy to settle for $5. I know you are not going to say "WallyWorld" :-) I bought a lighter for sizing the ends of nylon cord & it was over a buck.
Thanks again for all the info, John
I don't know about $2, but I found a couple of different butane torches in the tool section at Home Depot for less than $10. I got one for $7.95 and it's refillable with standard butane canisters. It will heat up to 1700C/3100F - plenty hot enough for tinning cable ends.
$1.99 at local Ace Hardware. I guess if you include tax (6.6%) then it's over $2.
I've got the exact same one. Twice, actually, the first time some 20 years ago and the second time about now. I paid either 2.5 or 5 euro at the local Home-Depot-style building supplies Gamma store, this last time. Funny how those exact blue anodised alu thing are all over the world and all over time.
It's a pretty shortlived flame, though, with a full magazine.

Kitchen shops sell a refillable butane torch. Perfect for crème brûlée, soldering small parts, and lighting candles.

I just have to see if I can do that as well as you did:

COOL, albeit I DID have to look on the 'net to do it.

You call that a torch? It's like soldering with a candle.

speaking of crunch - at a rate of 50 theologic violent deaths rate per day Iraq's violent TDR is only 3 times the auto death rate for florida in which in passing - rates for pickups are 2-3x higher than sedans

You mean this Roburn MT-770 that brings a brake cable to orange-red in under five seconds? 64 ml tank capacity.
