Thanks for the video, I had that part in a Shimano mountain bike cable kit, had no idea what it was for.

this cap is mentioned in deraileur setup manual :)

Oh yes, so it does. I've never noticed that before.

I installed Advent X last year and used this straight away. Otherwise the cable would slowly cut a groove into the housing when it comes out. Bit of a design oversight.

Sounds like a bit of an issue. Glad you resolved it in the end.

Why don't they fit it at the factory by default

That's a good question. You're right, they should be included with all derailleurs.

XTR derailleurs come with something similar. Not attached to the ferrule but a separate "noodle" with a flange that sits in the housing stop. I have a few of these in my spare bin for some reason. Also have those ferrules with the extension in my spares bin. Those ferrules used to come with Shimano shift cable kits.

@@andyeunson270 Ah that's interesting. I've not seen those ones before, I'll see if I can find some. Always good to have a few knocking around in the parts bin. You never know when you might need them.
