Installing a cable in a cantilever brake
requires special tools and training, so
should only be done by your dealer.
1. Note the path of the old cable, and
loosen the cable anchor bolt and
remove the worn cable.
2. Grease the new cable and reinstall,
feeding it along the same path as
the old cable, including through the
cable anchor bolt.
3. Make sure the leaded cable-end is
seated properly in the lever, and the
housing is properly seated in the
lever.
If needed when installing a cable in a
brake, readjust the brake.
4. Turn the adjusting barrel clockwise
so the threads on the adjusting
barrel are not exposed.
For a shift cable, put the shifter in the
position with the least cable tension.
For a brake, hold the brake closed
while you do the next step.
5. Tighten the cable clamp bolt:

2 inches (51mm) extends beyond the
anchor bolt.
7. Crimp a metal cap or place a bit
of solder on the end of the cable to
prevent fraying.
8. Follow the instructions for adjust-
ment.
