My wife Julia insisted on taking out our springer, hes a nice dog - soft as a brush and as thick as two short planks. Mark moaned because I had promised a run out on the C5 for good behaviour, so as to kill two birds with 1 stone I suggested we go on the C5's and play Frisbee with the dog when we get to the park.
So we set off and all is good, right up to the point where the stupid mut ran in front of my C5, I slammed on the brakes, the front cable snapped and I ran over the dog !!!! - no worries as he's as hard as a toad, and just gave me a funny look and carried on.
Anyhow when I got back I decided to replace the cable, from some stuff I bought off eBay. I fitted new blocks about 2 moths ago from the same stash, these aren't original Sinclair blocks, but are black rubber. When I started to take the cable off, I checked the blocks and found this :-

look how they have worn down - not sure if its because they are cheep rubbish, or that i'm over using my c5

but thats why the cable snapped.
not bad for a brake that does bugger all to stop you - lol
