How do cable controls work exactly?

[Andre Toulon]

Can somebody please tell/teach me the ins and outs of cable controls specifically? I see 'cable-controlled' everywhere and I see pictures and a few rare diagrams every now and then, but nothing really hearty or instructive. Please help me out!

I got a couple of pictures for you and a made up drawing for you. This is how i made it work for me. also i just want to note this process is a pain in the butt i have made several puppet that did not blink that i like a whole lot more. not to mention it adds to the cost of the puppet by double. any way here you go!

hope this helps.

Eh, I kinda get it, but im still shoddy on it. I guess I should just experiment.

Go by your local bike shop and ask for a brake assembly, if they go "What?" show them on a bike what you want they should have it in stock. play with it and you should get a fill for what it does.
