How do you remove the brake wire from a mountain bike? |
I would like to switch the lines for my front and back brakes. I do not know how to remove it to switch. I released the line from the brake pad; how do I remove it from the grip. I have a gripshift brake lever, DiamondBack 21 speed. Pull the little aluminum cap off of the end of the cable down by the brake--so that the silver cable can be slid out of the black cable jacket. Unscrew the cable from where the brake holds it. Squeeze the brake lever. Without the brake attached, it will stay where you put it. Look underneath the brake lever. There's a big hole. The end of the silver cable has a big lead ball stuck to it. This is visible through the hole. Now turn the brake lever's cable adjustment until the slot lines up with the slot now visible in the brake lever. Either the cable will now simply fall out or you can fish the lead ball out of the hole. It may not be what you want to hear, but for the shear sake of safety you should probably have an actual bike shop do the work for you. It's relatively in-expensive and not that difficult a request. Many customers I've done it for are avid motorcycle riders and want the brakes oriented the same for their bicycles. Go to a local bike shop for help!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bicyclingh... |
