Zippie: the cable is brand new, bought it just some days ago!
I've accepted the fact that the brake is old and "outdated". I thought I might keep it original, but I don't care now, I just want to ride.
I found this brake at VeloSolo, it's cheap and I trust VeloSolo when they say it's good:

They also have Dirt Harry-levers which I might pick up as well, also because they recommend it. I think my bars will be too fat for the lever though, I'll measure it before I buy..
I just hope this will work finally, I'm very bad at stopping breakless.
Freezing: Thanks for the link, SB is the king! I didn't even think about checking out his explanation for this.
