The bike is only a few months old so I thought I may not need a new cable.
Can anyone offer any tips on how to change the brake housing? Are the wire and end caps reusable?
The brake is Avid BB5 Disc Brake.
Thanks so much for any info!
You can to go youtube and search for "replace bicycle cables" and watch a couple of videos to see what's involved. And take pictures of the existing housing on the bike so you can refer to them when you install the new housing.
