	Bowden cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Invented by Frank Bowden, a bowden cable is a type of flexible cable used to transmit mechanical force or energy by the movement of an inner cable (most commonly of steel or stainless steel) relative to a hollow outer cable housing.
		The cable housing is generally of composite construction, consisting of a spiral steel wire, often coated with plastic, and with a plastic outer sheath.
		Usually provision is made for adjusting the cable tension using an inline hollow screw (often called a "barrel adjuster"), which lengthens or shortens the cable housing relative to a fixed anchor point.

	Cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cable is two or more wires bound together which may be bare, covered or insulated.
		Cables may be made more flexible by stranding, usually twisting or braiding.

	United States Patent Application: 0040004330
		The activating cable grip end of cable and sheath 58 is attached to the hand lever 52 near its connection with body 48 at hand lever connection 54 and enters the sheath at hand held brake body cable sheath connector and stop 56.
		Cable sheath connector and stop 80 is attached to the upper "V" end of upper brake frame brace 76 as by welding and extends upward and forward in line with the bent portion thereof.
		Cable sheath connector and stop 80 is in the general shape of a machine nut and engages ferrule 62, connector ferrule receptor 64 and receives the lower end of sheath 58, thus acting as a receiver and stop for the lower end of sheath 58, allowing cable 68 to move inward and outward relative thereto.

	Bowden cable retainer and adjuster - Patent 4294133
		As is known, a Bowden cable is a wire made of spring steel which is enclosed by helical lay wires and used to transmit longitudinal motions over distances, particularly around corners.
		The grooved sleeve means is attached to the Bowden cable and is generally elongated along the axis of the Bowden cable and has circumferential grooves or serrations spaced along the Bowden cable axis.
		Bowden cable 14 for a speed control assembly is secured and adjusted by an adjustable connector assembly 11 including a grooved sleeve 20 attached to the exterior of Bowden cable 14.

	Bicycles/Maintenance and Repair/Brakes/Adjusting brakes - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Most bicycle brakes use a lever on the handlebars to pull a cable: that cable draws together a pair of brake arms, pressing the brake blocks (aka pads or shoes) against the rim of the wheel.
		The section leading from the handlebar to the frame is always surrounded by an outer, which together with the inner wire cable forms a bowden cable and allows force to be transmitted from the levers to the mechanism on the frame through a flexible connection.
		Pull the cable through the outer until it is all out at the lever, then remove the nipple from the lever and discard the cable.

	Clutch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The clutch and pressure plate are held in contact by spring pressure exerted by the coil springs of the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate.
		When you depress the clutch you are pulling the cable forward, which turns the operating bar to which the release (throwout) bearing is attached forward, and pushes the bearing backward and into contact with the clutch plate.
		If the cable is off the hook, or if the hook has worn through and broken (yes, that can happen after 30+ years, but it can be re-welded), then the pedal will be flopping about, not pulling on the cable at all.

		Any Bowden cable that is fitted with a 180 degree bend has a wide dead spot between pulling and pushing which automatically causes play to develop.
		The Bowden cable should be connected so the throttle lever return spring causes the throttle lever to press against and not pull on the Bowden cable.
		One time is the return spring stronger and pulls the Bowden cable inwards, another time is the rpm altered and the swinging is stronger (resonance effect) and the Bowden cable is thrown outwards.

		For models, the efficiency of Bowden cable is acceptable, as far as I'm concerned.

		The cable was wrapped around specially designed mandrels before clamping to minimize stresses at the attachments, ensuring that failure occurred between the grips.
		The Teflon housing liner with Spectron 12 cable had the effect of increasing the fatigue life by 40 percent at three bands and more than tripling the life to 6,500 cycles at seven bands, which was 55 percent higher than the mean life 1/16-inch steel cable.
		A significant fact is that all of the cable assemblies tested failed at the lift tab, which is where the cable makes the tightest bend.

		It may be necessary to bend the lever to bring the end of it into line with the Bowden cable fixing bracket hole.
		* Ensure that the cable is accurately aligned and then fit the solderless nipple (it's a "fiddle" but makes sure that the allen screw is really tight) ensuring that there is a little bit of slack and plenty of adjustment both ways on the outer cable fixing.
		Adjust as necessary for minimum slack then ensure that the lever operates freely leaving the Bowden cable inner free to slide in the stud hole.

	Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Bo--Bz
		The type of concentric cables used for brakes and gears was once known by the term "Bowden cables", after their inventor.
		On traditional steel frames these attachments are held on by brazing, but the term "braze-on" is also used for fittings that are welded, glued, rivetted or moulded on to frames of other materials.
		Since the cable was being pushed at one end and pulled at the other, a positive return function could be attained with a much lower overall spring tension.

		When adjusted properly the cable will be snug, and the slightest braking motion will cause the bowden cable to activate the electronic braking unit.
		Another possibility in a snap/thunk sound is the cable where entering the controller module may not be seated and slips into the cavity each time the brakes are applied.
		If a grinding sound (more like continuous thru out the movement) it may be a lubrication issue...or the cable may not be in a long smooth bend to the controller and first cable bracket on the dash.
