What to Do When the Brake Cable Doesn't Retract?
1 Answers
Brake cable not retracting is usually caused by issues like brake rusting. Rust removal is required. Below are the specific reasons for brake cable not retracting: 1. Brake rusted or severely worn: Remove the brake cable, drip a few drops of lubricating oil from the top of the cable housing, repeatedly pull and release the cable to lubricate the housing and increase its lubrication. If the effect is still poor after adding lubricating oil, the cable needs to be replaced. 2. Weak spring on the caliper: The return spring on the caliper, if not cleaned for a long time, may accumulate a large amount of dust and dirt, potentially affecting the cable's retraction. Cleaning the spring is necessary to ensure the brake cable's lubrication.
