A manually operated, cable control lever assembly especially adapted for use with a handlebar grip is provided with an elongate lever having one end thereof pivotally mounted to a support bracket which also restrains the movement of the control cable in a direction generally aligned with the lever. The lever is provided with: an essentially straight, internal cavity extending longitudinally therethrough and providing a first access opening in the free end of the lever; an attenuated, internal passageway in communication with the cavity and diverging away from the latter toward the free extremity of the lever and terminating in a second, recessed access opening; and, an access slot extending between the access openings and into the passageway. The end of a typical control cable provided with a keeper element is installed in the lever assembly by threading the keeper element through the cavity and out the first access opening and into the second access opening while the cable itself passes through the slot into operative position within the passageway. With the cable thusly installed, the end thereof is secured to the lever member at a point on the latter substantially spaced from the pivoting end thereof in order to place intermediate stretches of the lever member in force compression when the lever member is operated.
