ABSTRACT:
A free-style bicycle is modified to accommodate a threadless headset by constructing the preloading assembly employed with a threadless headset as a cable routing assembly so that at least the inextensible core of the front brake cable is routed down through the preloading and cable routing assembly and through the hollow steering tube of a bicycle. The preloading assembly has a longitudinal passageway defined therethrough. The passageway may be formed by utilizing a hollow draw bolt that permits the passage of the core of the front brake cable therethrough. In this case the sheath of the front brake cable is divided into upper and lower segments. The upper sheath segment extends between the front brake control and the top of the preloading and cable routing assembly, while the lower sheath segment extends from a lower steering tube end plug to the front wheel brake. Alternatively, the preloading and cable routing assembly is provided with a hollow wedging structure that defines a longitudinal passageway therethrough. In this embodiment the passageway can be of a diameter large enough to accommodate not only the front brake cable core but the surrounding front brake cable sheath as well. This obviates the necessity for dividing the sheath into upper and lower segments.
