Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy or weak.
Check and adjust cable tension. Ensure compressionless housing is used. Bleed the system if air is present.
Brakes are rubbing the rotor.
Loosen the caliper mounting bolts and realign the caliper. Adjust cable tension using the barrel adjuster to center the pads.
Brake lever feels stiff or hard to pull.
Check brake cable and housing for kinks or damage. Ensure the cable is properly lubricated.
