Abstract
This cable-guide (10) for bicycle handlebars (1), in particular handlebars (1) having a recessed seat (8) for the passage of cables (6, 7) near to a fastening position of controls for the brake and the gearshift (4, 5), comprises a plate (11) for covering the recessed seat (8); the plate (11) is provided with a middle fin (21) projecting from a rear face (13) of the plate (11) intended to face towards the recessed seat (8). The two cables (6,7) are arranged in an optimal manner in the recessed seat (8), without undesired overlapping or movements being able to occur. Therefore, the grip of the hands on that portion of handlebars (1) is more regular and allows the cyclist to keep maximum concentration, without disturbances.
