>>1853101I kind of got it working but it took a really long pull to get the rear brake to engage, and then I can pull the lever a lot more, up to the point where I will probably break something. It's not the same thing as the v-brake levers that are currently on. Well that gives me an excuse to a) replace the whole braking system with hydraulic brakes when I go to 8s cassette b) not do anything, since the problem I thought I had (shot bearing balls) were just a product of a slightly loose skewer. WTF do I do with those ass-ram levers?
