I have cross levers on my bike that I plan to remove. I am going to duplicate the housing length when I cut my new housing, but I have a question...
I have barrel adjusters both on the brake calipers and also where the cables enters the cross levers. I can, therefore, adjust cable tension for each cable from two different barrels.
On the rear cable, however, the barrel on the caliper will not move either way (but the one on the lever will). Any particular reasons the barrel might not move?
If this might be due to housing length, I'd like to know before cutting my new housing to the same length as the old stuff. I'd hate to redo my brakes but not be able to fine tune them.
BTW, the bike is 10 mo. old and stored inside; it's not rusted or anything. This barrel never moved.
