I'm trying to get an old peugeot road worthy for the Mrs and am having no end of trouble with the brakes. I can't work out what I'm doing wrong, so someone please help.
I can't seem to get any tension in the cable, I'm holding the pads against the rim and pulling as hard as I can on the cable then tightening the clamping bolt whilst keeping the tension in the cable. I've tried this quite a few times and haven't been able to get it so there is any resistance when I pull the brake lever. am I missing something obvious?
the brakes and levers are weienmann and the only thing that looks slightly off is that there is a slight gap around the cable where it comes out of the lever. any ideas?
cheers.
