Snap!
Snapped/broke our rear brake cable after about 30,000 miles on our Zona.
We were descending a curvy hill at a bit over 20 mph and coming to a T-intersection. Usually modulate both brakes when approaching that road. Right lever bottomed out; cable snapped at the head as it enters the lever.
Did some quick/hard pulling on front brake and managed to stop OK before the right turn.
Stoker sensed immediately what was wrong, but does not panic. Cut our ride a bit short and we had no downhills heading home. Did just fine.
Replaced cable with a teflon coated one, replaced some of the inner plastic guide cable. We also have a custom pulley to guide rear cable and took that apart and lubed it; some wild curves in the housing and kinda fussy to get it just right.
All's well that ends well!
Pedal n TWOgether!
