Raleigh brake cable replacement question
I want to replace the brake cables on my 70's something Raleigh Sprite. I never tried to do this with the type of brakes that are on this bike. What is the order of operations? Any potential problems I should be on the look out for? What's the little clip for? How should I set the adjustment wheel before tightening everything down? These are all rookie questions. I've attached a picture.
