Replying to: thierry (Feb 11, 2009 7:19 pm) Okay, but you've only made a temporary fix. WD40 will gunk up rather quickly. It picks up dirt. Get some "White Lithium Grease". It comes in a spray can. Spray it again with the lithium grease and then work the brake handle a couple dozen times to work it in. (Then spray your door hinges with the stuff - it's what it's designed for.) DO NOT GET ANY ON YOUR BRAKES! Just on the cable where it enters the sheath. Replies to this message: thierry (Feb 12, 2009 6:51 am)
