So I managed to get the end cap off and installed the new cable. Just for a test I reused the old housing. There's still a couple of problems I think:
- The brakes work the cable doesn't pop out like before, but if I pull at it it does slide out with the housing. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's bad housing? The back brakes seem ok, the housing doesn't come out of the lever even if I pull.
- The brake lever seems a bit loose. As in, if I try and squeeze there's no tension till a bit, after which there is more tension and I can squeeze. I'm not sure why though.
Lastly, the cable I got from the LBS seems really long, not sure why he sold me that much
. I guess I just cut it off?.. As of now I kinda have it wrapped around the front fork.
At least I can ride now though
