Freako, was that on the 20" or the 22" Denail. just want to know. Any ways Glad it got her into biking/racing. But as I said the Denail was not made for racing. I never had any problems with the Brake caliper or the cables. On the Blue (22") or this newer one. I had heard there was a problem with the caliper bending, but have not seen it. Did you change out the brake pads or where they stock?
