ABSTRACT:
An end cap for a bicycle cable of the type wherein an inner cable slides within an outer casing includes a housing defining a hollow lubricant-filled chamber. The housing has a first end defining an opening for receiving the inner cable therethrough and a second end adapted to fit to the outer casing of the bicycle control cable. A first screen screens the opening at the first end of the housing, wherein the first screen is structured to rupture when the inner cable is passed therethrough. A displaceable second screen screens the second end of the housing. A seal is disposed at the first end of the housing. The seal includes an annular seal member defining an inner area, and the seal member is sized to sealingly fit over the outer periphery of the inner cable of the bicycle control cable.
