Brake problems
 

I have TekTro breaks and I am having some problems with my back break. It doenst spring back after I squeeze it. It slowly comes back and when I squeeze it has more resistance than the front break. The front break feels nice and smooth when I squeeze it and when I release it come right back no problem.

I thought that something on the break itself was sticking, so I took it all apart. Now that it is cleaned and oiled it still has the same problem. Before I go an take apart the break handle I thought I should check here and see what you all thought.

Thanks for any ideas.

Check out this recent BF thread. They had a similar problem.

Sounds like your breaks don't brake.

Thanks for the link, it definitely helped. Didnt occure to detache the cable and see if it was the brake or the cable.

After detaching the cable the brake was fine. I pulled on the brake handle and there was still resistance so it was somewhere in the cable. Took the cable all off, cleaned and oiled, now all is well.

Thanks
