The brakes are really important - too important to try and make a patch fix for them.
Go ahead and head over to the bike shop and get a new cable assembly. They'll show you how to install it.

Cable or hydraulic brakes?
The cable is easy to replace, just go to the bike shop or hardware store and get a new one. The hydraulic hose types have to come from the bike shop which sells that kind.

Disc brakes are extra perfect in muddy, moist situations. what number cases have you ever heard a effective grinding sound out of your rim-brakes after flying by a effective deep muddy patch? With discs, except the airborne dirt and mud is 12 inches deep, you aren't from now on going to get that occurring. As for replacing the brakes - the pads are a hell of plenty extra accessible to modify than v brakes. Take the wheel off, pull out the former pads (held in by magnet, and with an person-friendly to drag tab), push the pistons decrease back into position with a flat device that you'll little question be wearing, and slip the recent pads in. there is no concerns about aligning the pads precise or some thing as this happens immediately. in truth the in common words puzzling situation with disc brakes is bleeding them, that you really is definitely no longer doing mid-vacation, and likewise if the rotor receives bent then you're particularly a lot crammed out on the route. human beings say they're plenty heavier than v brakes, yet purchase a motorbike with a disc particular body and wheelset and also you'll dodge dropping of that weight decrease back in disc-particular rims and a lack of v brake mounting bosses. another strengths of discs - you may replace rotor sizes to electrify preventing capacity (as in stick on an greater diameter rotor and also you'll end extra perfect); particularly than squeezing v brakes onto a bollow wheel rim, you're braking adverse to a sturdy piece of metallic (the pads can grip harder with 0 flex in braking floor); they offer the impact of being particularly damn sweet too ;) in my view because that transferring as a lot as discs, I is definitely no longer going decrease back. they're really person-friendly to maintain (except for bleeding the hoses), have staggering preventing capacity and, with my new Avid Juicys, they have a tremendous number of modulation to dodge the brakes slamming precise on and throwing you off. the in common words different downer is that the pads (like in a vehicle) want burning in, which in truth skill taking it person-friendly for a short time till the braking floor roughs up, and the authentic capacity of the brakes will grow to be glaring.

you will need anew cable and when u have it just hook the little ball end of the cable into the break leaver and use some pliers to loosen the bolt of the breakpads and insert the cable into the opening. then tighten the breaks by changeing the length of the cable and tighten the bolts and u r all set!!

just get new cable lines and it should be good, but take the old ones off first.
