Cables And Cable Housing - Dynacraft SINGLE SPEED Owner's Manual

CABLES AND CABLE HOUSING

Cables and housing are one of the most overlooked parts
on the bicycle. The first indication that your cables and
housing need to be replaced is an increased amount
of pressure needed to operate the brakes or shifters.
Before every ride, check that there are no kinks or frays
in the cables and housing. Check that the brake cables
are correctly routed and not wrapped around the stem

or frame in a manner that prevents smooth operation
or hampers control of the bicycle. Also check that the
housing is seated properly into each cable stop of the
bicycle. It is recommended that the cables and housing
are replaced at least every riding season to prolong the
life of your bicycle.
WARNING
Always check the brake cable routing to ensure smooth
and free application of the brakes. Cables that are kinked,
frayed or otherwise damaged, or cables that are wrapped
around the stem or frame may affect braking power or
