basher Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Lube the cable and make sure if you have the cable zip tied to the forks ect that is isnt to tight and making the inner cable get stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmorley Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 hi, my mate used have this problem alot, most of the time its just because your cable full of grit and dirt. either buy a new cable or take your cable out of your outer cable and give it a good clean and lube both the outer and the inner.if this fails then check you havnt got any sharp turns in the cable mounting to the disc, any sharp turns just increase friction which would explain why the lever gets stuck.tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
