Hi Dave,

If you are running a HS4 then you don't need the special end on the cable.
They normally have a compression clamp arrangement.   I have used a bike cable
in a pinch once.

This means you should be able to cut yours off and insert the end.  Now I
can't see what you have on your end so I would go down and purchase a bike
brake cable to play with first from Wal Mart for a buck.

Good luck

Rick
