    • Unscrew the bracket located on the front tire with a 3mm allen wrench.

    • Rotate the bracket 90 degrees or until the opening is large enough for the cable. Remove the cable.

    • Note that if removing cable for rear brake, rather than unscrewing a bracket, you will unclip several "spring" clips. Keep track of clips.

    • Test your brakes in a low-speed environment to ensure that they work.

Abschluss

To place the new cable, follow these instructions in reverse order.
