Handlebar stem with integrated cable guidance

Abstract

A handlebar stem core (1) for a handlebar stem of a bicycle comprises a rear-side steer tube receptacle (1a), a front-side handlebar receptacle (1c), and a handlebar stem tube (1b) lying in between. The handlebar stem core is formed for the integrated guidance of a number n of cables (5), with n equal to 1, 2, 3, 4 or greater, and the handlebar stem core is configured for attachment to a cable central section of the number n of cables. The solution allows for guiding mechanical, hydraulic or else electrical brake and gear cables or lines proceeding from the respective operating elements at the handlebar or the handlebar ends to the bicycle frame or the head tube and/or the bicycle fork in a manner concealed from the outside with a low assembly outlay.
