He took one of the set his cables off the shelf. His Intermediate cable is 1" longer than the one from Inline Tube. But more importantly as I suspected, the front cable is 3.5" longer than the one from Inline Tube.. the actual sheathing is the same length, but the cable is 3.5" longer. BTW, I am sure there is no problem with the rear cables as they seem to be the same as the originals- length wise.
I am sure that this will remedy the problem, but I am still wondering about the length of these cables compared to originals. I will attempt to lay out and measure the front and intermediate cables from Inline Tube, Fine Lines and a known original set before I put this to rest. This should clarify it.
Just wanted to update the post for those who are interested.
