This is how it was but then I tried something so simple that made it much better.


Ok I pulled the cable with housing from the front loop it was enough to make the noodle sit properly into the “lil hook”. But now I have all this cable and noodle loop sticking out.
Hello I have a Giant Cypress Step Thru frame bike with v brakes. The rear brake is not allowing me to adjust because of the ackward cable routing. At first I thought it was due to a completely rusted noodle and just worn out/old. I did notice when removing the noodle it wasn’t set right in its anchor. After installing new noodle and boot and brake line. The exact same issue is occurring. I realize now it’s the cable routing. Cable dips low due to step thru frame and doesn’t have a flowing route up back to the noodle, along with another sharp curve into the noodle. So the end of the noodle doesn’t seat correctly in the brake “lil hook”. Maybe my pics can better explain. So one thing I did so far was ordered a flexible noodle that has a barrel adjuster on one end. Still hasn’t arrived. It looked convincing, but then again I have no experience in this. Any suggestions, tips, or what to do would be greatly appreciated.
