Broken brake cable on a folding bike. The handlebars fall off. The cable broke near the brake caliper where it is bolted on. Unscrew the cable tension screw. Put it in the slot. Pull the cable out of the shirt. Remove the cable from the brake lever, it holds the cable tie. Take a new cable, it is longer and without defects. Put it back into the brake lever. Fix the link in the hand brake lever, making sure to turn the lamb clockwise until it stops so that the cut screws and nuts do not match. Insert the new cable into the cable housing. Make sure the cable runs smoothly. If the cable runs tight, the housing needs to be replaced. Next, adjust the caliper so that the pad does not touch the disc. The brake disk of a bicycle is also called the rotor. Reduce the play to a minimum. Insert the shirt into the caliper and fix the cable in the caliper screw must be tightened well! It is the screw that holds the cable! Check that the play is minimal and that the disk has not been struck. The adjusting screw moves the block or brings it closer to the disk. Everything works! Cut off the excess cable and attach the special trailer. Brake ready!
