Ali does have some kinky stuff though and their terminology/suggestions can get really strange even in English. For example, I tinker with old road bikes. A very handy gadget for changing to modern shifters is a "downtube cable stop" but you'll never find it on Ali under that name. I need to go to my old orders and find it again. Ah yes, "outer stopper assembly" brings it right up. Fairly pricey by Ali standards; I expect these are genuine Shimano parts just not worth producing cheap en masse.
