Bike brake and derailleur cable : the difference

 in general :


derailleur cable : 

thinner. more agile.

head : smaller (to go in shifter). upright barrel shape. sometimes mushroom (shimano).

there's 3 main head types :

generic type (small barrel shape) . should fit all types ?

shimano : mushroom shape.

campagnolo : dunno ? niche ? 


brake cable :

thicker. tougher (for safety !)

head : bigger. side barrel


my knowledge : 4/10
