Patrick, I use interrupters on my bombadil with cantis, I am no kind of expert on them but will tell you what I found. To the best of my knowledge they work by compressing the housing instead of pulling on the cable so if you are using too long of a length of housing or cheap housing it might just go "smush" instead of feeling crisp like you are looking for. Not sure if this has already been considered but just thought I would throw it out there.
