>>1850843>This looks sweetThanks
>we need a better picture in the PYBT when you have it all cleaned up.It's in absolutely perfect (meaning clean) condition lol. I just need new bar tape and 25mm tires. These are 20mm.
>To your question, the brake cable, housing, and pads are all items that need periodic replacement.Yeah I know, but worn brake pads won't make the lever feel stiff, right?
>>1850844>yeah most likely just the cables. When they're unbolted just check with your hand that the calipers do spring in and out freely and the arms don't have play in them.Ok, will do.
>If those are the original pads you'll get better braking changing them too. Or you can run them up and down a piece of sandpaper or a file to uncover some fresh rubber.Any suggestions for brake pads? Swissstop, Koolstop? I have regular Shimano brake pads on my other steel bike and they're kinda shitty.
>and Iunno if you've cabled stuff much but make sure you open up the end with an awl or awl-esque thing, file the end, and check a cable does go in and out smoothly.Ok will do.
>you should also clean the brake tracks with some soapy water, then isopropyl alcohol and a rag.Right, thanks for your post.
>cool bike btw.Thanks
