It was supplied with a plastic ferrule (the sleeve that fits inside the hole in the lever) and it rapidly became chewed up. The original had a metal sleeve and the sleeve was still as new, so I fitted the old sleeve onto the new cable. Basically, the plastic sleeve wasn't fit for purpose.
That plastic ferrule caught my eye as well now you said that, and I thought it was a bit odd too as it will have lever pressure constantly pulling on it.
Certainly worth bearing in mind.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
