Setting up U Brakes

<< < (2/4) > >>

pickle:
cool, yeah you just need to have enough tension to make em spring off the frame  :daumenhoch:

but lube is the way to go on the Gyro cables  :daumenhoch:   or if you're never going to spin the bars, ditch the gyro and just run a cable through to the brake  :daumenhoch:

Not sure what i'm doing wrong here but it's really grinding my gears  >:(

Tried setting up the front brake but it still did little then noticed that the brake arm was also catching a bit (cheap brakes) found some old ones that came with the spares so fitted these which seem to fit a lot better, Swapped the brake pads over and the brake feels fine etc but on the road test still at best slows the bike down!!!

I have read all the online guides etc and know have the front set so it feels like it's working but it hardly slows the bike any ideas ?

theRuler:
How is the cable routed?  No super tight bits are there?

dubdee:
I'ts routed through the stem bolt forks , Will pull it out and try it running straight down, Been messing with it so much going to need a new inner now too lol
