Hi All,


I have a bike that has 3 lengths of exposed Bowden cable.


Id like to sheath these, but would like to avoid having to disconnect and
reconnect the inners.


Can anyone think of a suitable (preferably black) C section thingy in
plastic / rubber / Ali that I could slip over them?


Have you considered wrapping them with loom tape? That's PVC tape with no
adhesive. Comes in a variety of colours, but mainly black. You do have to
secure the final end with a cable tie, etc.

Isn't that going to give excessive friction? Presumably you mean wrapped
under a bit of tension.


Just read it again. Bowden cable consists of an inner and outer. So not
clear if this is that, or simply a cable? If just a cable it would need
pulleys etc to go round bends.
