Electra with brake problem
I have an Electra Shark Cruiser with a Sram I-3 three speed gear. Occasionally when I brake I have to I have to back pedal a full revolution before the brake will work. Has anyone encountered this problem? Is it an easy fix? It doesn't do it all the time. Any help would be appreciated.

You might have better luck asking this in the mechanic's forum:

That's a pretty simple adjustment if you've played with those before...
