There are cables that runs from the handle to both brake calipers.
If your handle and cables move freely the the problem lies within your calipers. Or your "venting" clearance is off. (the space between the rotor and the brake pads) There are many videos and write ups on how to do this. I recommend rebuilding your calipers yourself, then you will know all its secrets. |
