I've read some past threads, but for the life of me I can't understand how to make the cable longer. One of my cables was seized, so I replaced both with the 914Rubber kit. Once installed, they're both quite short of reaching the caliper arm. I understand how the adjustment nuts make the sheath section longer or shorter, but what good does that do? The cable is a fixed length, right? Adjusting the sheath longer only makes it bend and deform because the brake end is locked into the stay on the suspension. I don't see what the point is of adjusting the sheath. How do you make a fixed length cable longer so it can reach the caliper arm?
I'd appreciate any assistance. Thanks! Bryan |
