Introduction |
Correctly tensioned brake cables are very important to the proper operation of your bike. | | If the cables are too loose, you won't actually be able to pull enough on the brake levers for the braking mechanism to drag hard enough on the rim of the wheel, and thus you will have trouble stopping. | | On the contrary, if the cables are too tight, your brakes will be constantly rubbing against the rim of the wheel, adding friction and making any part of the ride that much harder. | | Either way, this guide will show you how to adjust the tension on your brake cable to your liking, so that you can brake when you need to and ride easily the rest of the time. |
