Cable end stuck in Campy ergo shifter

I was changing my rear derailler cable this morning and discovered

this problem before? How do I get it removed without damaging the
shifter? Thanks.

First problem was not using the propper, small ended Campagnolo type
inner wire.

Shimano 'improved' the specification.

Dear Frank,

That's what Campagnolo asks the other guys.

Cheers,

You can slightly file down a non-Campy cable end, only a small
annoyance, if you can't find the real article.

Shame on any bike shop that is lazy enough to not have the proper
inner wire.
It's not 'Campy' inner wires but smaller ended ones available from
many, many distributors that these 'bike shops' probably already use.
Ya know we don't work on tandems either but we have tandem
cables...NOT HARD.

Sharpen a spoke, cut a small section including the

sharpened end. Cut off as much of the inner wire as possible and tap
the sharpened spoke into the cable 'gut', toward the cable end and it
will come out. THEN use the proper inner wire, dabbing a wee bit of
grease onto the end before installing.

Why indeed. You can use a small ended one in shimano and sram shifters
no problem.

How does a bicycle store pay the rent if they don't sell bicycle equipment?

Money laundering?
