Pop the outers out of the stops and move them along the cable, if one of the pieces feels rough then it likely wasn't cut too well, pull the ferrules off said piece and trim the ends to avoid any squished bits of casing hitting the cable, an awl or similar to open the ends can help. If it's not that check the levers move freely.

I’m replacing the brake cables and outers on my Pompino, running TRP single speed drop bar levers and v brakes. I’ve done the rear and the brake is now a bit sluggish to return to position. The v brake arms themselves feel nice and smooth/springy when no cable is attached. I cleaned the noodle/sleeve, should I have lubed with something? Happy to hear any other suggestions on what I might’ve got wrong!
