Dredge.....
I've just replaced the brake cables on my dad-o-commuto-cross biek with Shimano cables. I've got Tektro 520 levers to Avid V-brakes. Annoyingly the cable routing on the front brake is so tight against the bars that it makes the brake action very sticky. I've tried a number of different ways of running the cable but nothing seems to work. It's fine until I tape the cable to the bars and then it all goes to shit.
What do people recommend for tight radius cable runs that will still allow for smooth cable movement - Nokon? Jagwire? Something else? Throw bike into volcano and buy new bike?
