Names and faces to bikes

Yea i've had some trouble with that. When it's down there's not enough room so i just leave the fucker up. I guess i just need a longer cable right? Just not got round to trying to sort it out.

not enough room for what? it looks like there's plenty of spare cable at the end. Undo the nut on the brake caliper, flick the switch down, hold the caliper to your preferred position, and re-tighten the nut. (see sheldon / park tools for better instructions ;) )
