Abstract: A method for adjusting brake cable detangler systems used on “trick” bicycles in order to eliminate associated bearing flop includes the following steps: position the upper and lower plates of the cable detangler system at an optimum distance from each other for the given system with the aid of a multipurpose gauge, select an upper cable assembly of the proper length for the given handlebar with the aid of the same multipurpose gauge, connect the lower brake cable to the lower unit of the cable detangler system, connect an adjuster cable to the upper unit of the cable detangler system, adjust the adjusting barrels of the lower brake cable until bearing flop in the bearing mechanism of cable detangler system is eliminated, remove the adjuster cable, connect the upper brake cable in place of the adjuster cable, and adjust the adjusting barrels of the upper brake cable until bearing flop in the cable detangler system is eliminated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing a drainage line unit. The apparatus includes a mandrel having an inner cavity. Rear, upper and front openings communicate with the mandrel cavity. Preferably, a controller connected to at least one sensor is operably positioned to control the apparatus. A pipe feeder feeds perforated vent pipe through the inner cavity of the mandrel from the rear opening to the front opening and therethrough. The pipe is positioned within the inner tube cavity so as to define a void space between the pipe and the wall of the mandrel. A hopper assembly has an exit port positioned for feeding a plurality of plastic bodies into the cavity. A blower produces a sufficient air flow through the mandrel cavity for moving the plurality of plastic bodies to substantially fill the void space so that the pipe emerges from the front opening of the mandrel surrounded by the plurality of plastic bodies.
