Abstract
A control device adapted to be mounted on a handlebar of a bicycle includes a support body having a first element adapted to be rigidly connected to the handlebar and a second element pivotally mounted on the first element for rotation about an axis relative to the first element. A projection on the second element extends radially with respect to the axis into a recess in the first element and a pair of screw members engage the projection on opposite sides thereof to adjust the position of the second element relative to the first element and to secure the second element in the adjusted position. A control lever is pivoted on the support body and is adapted to operate a control cable.
