ABSTRACT:
A shifting cable assembly for the gear shift system of bicycles or the like, includes a shifting cable for connecting a manual shifter arranged in the grip zone of the bicycle user to the shift system of the rear wheel of the bicycle, a separate connection part, which is connectable to the shifting cable, being brought out from the shift point. In this shifting cable assembly there is provided a connection assembly which is designed so as to be insertable and self-retaining, on the one hand, and so as to be releasable by hand in a simple manner, on the other hand. For this purpose, there is provided a housing which is connected to the end of the shifting cable, which is taken downwards from the manual shifter, and which is equipped with a sleeve-shaped seat for the manual insertion of a connection part which is provided, for example, with detent elements and which is retained unaidedly and operationally reliably in the seat of the housing by corresponding counter detent elements.
