Cable Sleeve 5mm (sold by the metre) white

Bowden cable Housing

Two-wheelers are equipped with various cables that ensure that the rider's commands are passed on - brake, clutch, shift, throttle and more. It is very important that the protective sleeve around the actual cable (which is simply a wire) is in excellent condition.

Structure of a Cable Sleeve

As a rule, a classic cable sheath consists of three layers: an inner helix of steel wire provides the necessary compression and support, it is protected and held by an outer PVC sheath. Inside, a polymer or Teflon layer acts as a sliding guide for the cable and reduces mechanical wear caused by friction and frequent movement of the Bowden cable.

There is a wide range of cable covers in different sizes for throttle cables, clutch cables and gearshift cables, they also come in different colors, so you can also work a little on the appearance of your two-wheeler.
