<p>An actuator (42, 44) for actuating a derailleur (36, 38) and/or a brake (32, 34) of a bicycle. The actuator (42, 44) is incorporated into a bar end (24, 26) and includes a lever (46, 48, 50, 52) slidably mounted to the bar end (24, 26) for sliding between a neutral position and an actuating position (72, 68) axially spaced from the neutral position. A transmission mechanism is received within a cavity of the bar end and couples the lever (46, 48, 50, 52) to the brake (32, 34) or derailleur (36, 38). The transmission mechanism actuates the brake (32, 34) or derailleur (36, 38) when the lever (46, 48, 50, 52) is slid to the actuating position (72, 68).</p> |
