Game of "B.I.K.E." - beginner version

Dang. I'm glad you posted. I had totally forgotten.

I need to get on this.

 

[STAG]

I'm afraid I am going to have to take an I. I tried some cable lube, but still no luck; and no rear brakes.

 

[rholbrook]

I'm taking a B on this. My ankle still hurts and I honestly don't think I can do this one injury free. Harrison can complete two bounces but I don't see him completing it either

do you have a rear brake on your bike? Is it just not working? I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. I'm guessing it needs a $10 cable.

Yeah I've narrowed it down to my cable being siezed up and I didn't have time all week to get a new one

Just pull the cable out of the housing, scrub off the corrosion with some sandpaper, and re-lube the cable housings. That should be a free temporary fix

 

[STAG]

I cant get the cable out of the housing. I bought one of those tools that clamp to open end of the housing and allows spraying lube down into it, but it was to no avail, even with a whole can it is still siezed. I think I will just take them (there are two that go to the rear brake) to CableCraft in SLC and have new ones made.

you can buy a new brake cable and housing for about $5-10 at a bike shop (or even walmart or smiths marketplace).

[sixstringsteve]

pelygroso is up next, but if he doesn't get a video up by tonight, it'll be maldito.

 

[Cascadia]

Dang. Thanks for the reminder again. Totally forgot again. Procrastination is bad.

you can do it russ. You just have to lean way back and hop backwards, almost like you're going over the back.
