Hello there people, I have a problem with my brake calipers and seek advice
I have a raleigh made humber sports which needs its brake cables replaced. The problem is that they are the old raleigh pattern ones that have a lug at each end. Is there some sort of way I can hack my way around buying a new set of calipers? I looked at a video on youtube where a guy soldered ends on his cables but it looked very very complex and for the bother I would just buy new calipers.
I was thinking something along the lines of tightening a small nut and bolt on the end of the cable that goes into the brake lever and using that in place of the normal small disc shape that holds it into the caliper
anyone ever tried to navigate this problem?
