When I bought my DBX,the front brake worked fine when pulling the road lever,but not the cross lever. I figured out that when I pulled the lever the adjuster/cable moved forward and would hit the handlbar mounted reflector. I removed the reflector and had to have the shop fix the adjuster(it stripped out). When I explained the prob,and told them they should contact Schwinn about the bad design,their reply was that Schwinn couldn't sell bikes without a front reflector. They never contacted Schwinn,and every other DBX had the reflector blocking the lever travel. Last time I bought a bike from Performance Bike.
