Abstract: A handlebar-mounted cable control for a bicycle brake or the like, including a cable fitting fixed within the handlebar and having a throughbore and an angled surface facing an open end of the handlebar, a tubular handle member being inserted over and coaxially rotatable about the end of the handlebar, the handle member having an insert with a throughbore and an angled surface being generally complementary with the angled surface of the cable fitting. The brake cable is inserted in the throughbore and a cable end is fixed to the insert so that as the handle member is rotated, the brake cable is pulled, activating the brake.
