Re: rear brake cable

Quote:
You probably just need to oil the cable. can you manipulate the brake lever easily with the cable off also? It'd probably be best just to lube it all up good anyway.
yeah, the brake lever moves just fine
how do you go about lubing the cable?

Just EXACTLY what leads you to believe that it is not working like "it's supposed to" ? :??:
The cable is preventing the rear lever from springing back all the way, so it's like the brakes are really close to being engaged at all times. Maybe this is how it's supposed to be, but it just seems like the brakes should "open up" more than they do when the pedal is released. I have been wrong before, though. :biggrin:

I'll have to get back with you tomorrow about the travel distances.
