Title: Brake cables
Post by: Karl on 17, April, 2009 - 10:05:26
When checking over "Moneypit" ,to make sure it was all ok for the filming with Chris Barrie, I noticed that the rear brake felt "crunchy" ...and sure enough a bit more squeezing of the brake lever produced the expected snapping of the brake cable  ::).

The cable was fitted in November 2006 so, considering the usage "Moneypit" has had, I reckon I got my money's worth  ;D 

The London run has quite a big downhill stretch near the beginning, with traffic lights half way down. If you want to avoid copying Blablubablabubs Welsh experience, it might be worth giving your c5's a good check over before the meeting  8)
