Some questions about mountain bike were asked.
Reading the bicycle service instructions,some bicycle terms below are not undersood so I don't comprehend what means were express. Please help me if you interest in bicycle. Thanks!

• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides.
Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the SIS shifting function due to
its high cable resistance.

Answer

This talks about the cables used for shifting gears on mountain bikes, but I'm not sure exactly which terms or words are confusing you.

If it's "outer casing", that's the long thin tube where the gears-cable sits inside.
