Abstract: A push-pull cable (1, 6), in particular, for the purpose of actuating bicycle brakes. It has a guide hose (2, 7) and an actuation core (3, 8) that can be moved therein axially. The guide hose (2, 7) has an inside hose (4, 9) and a jacket hose (5, 10) that surrounds the latter. The inside hose (4, 9) consists at least mostly of a polymerized tetrafluoroethylene, while the jacket hose consists at least mostly of a polyarylate, polyacrylimide, polyetherimide, polysulfone, polyphenylenesulfide, polyetherketone and/or liquid-crystalline polymer and/or a synthetic substance whose rigidity and firmness are within the range of rigidity and firmness of the above-mentioned synthetic substances.
