[RBW] Re: Stuck Tektro R559 QR...any suggestions?
I'll echo David to check cable housing. Specifically where it seats in the adjuster barrel, as sometimes the housing can come out and get hung up on the ferrule. I had problems specifically with my front brake doing this at the lever. I was using non-aero levers and the housing would pop out of the seat in the lever, but I couldn't see it because of the hood. Also possible there is a small pebble lodged in between the brake arms. If you can get the tire out, squeeze the pads together like you're trying to make them touch. That should shed some light. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope I don't have to replace the housing...undoing all that shellaced bartape and twine would be a bummer. Now that you mention it, last week I was lifting my bars all the way out to re-grease the shaft after 2 years of unmoved placement in the steerer tube, and I remember the housing popped out and hung up on the ferrule at the adjuster thingy on the calipers. I popped it back in, but maybe something got smooshed. Or maybe it popped out at the lever end. I'll take a look. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Sounds like a cable/housing issue. I'd loosen the cable and see if it can move freely forward/backward without any resistance.

But calipers won't pop open when I open the QR lever, like it's supposed to. The rear brake works fine. I lubed all pivot points and cleaned off some gunk from the spring, but still not popping open. Any suggestions? Everything looks clean except a little rust on QR bolt head. But the black safety tab opens and closes easily. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
