Hopefully a quick question to answer, does anyone know if cable ferrules are required when running cables in a Giant TCR Advanced Pro?
From what I can tell the holders in the frame act as the ferrules, as the brake cable without the ferrule fits snugly in the holder, however the gear cable outer, which has a pre installed ferrule, won't fit into the holder in the headtube - I don't have any cable cutters yet to test this theory but would be good to know if I'm going to need further parts!

Also, I plan to run the cables naked without any internal sheaths - good or bad idea?
