Posts: 407 Location:	About 3 or 4 months ago, I hit a jump, nose cased, it, and my foot got cuaght in the brake cable and pulled it forward with the moment of my whole body.... Since then, My brakes have been utter shit. I will pull on the lever as hard as possible and it will slow me down about enough to slow me down a lil, they pretty much do not help at all when it comes to riding. Just slowing me down a lil before intersections at the bottom of hills. They are worse than that. When I pull the lever, I have to slip my finger under it and push the lever back up becuase the springs in my brakes must have broken or something. I have the generic diatech brakes that come stock on most 200-400 dollar bikes that are of decent quality. They are about 4-5 years old though. Is there any way to resurect them? Should I just wait for some looser with a haro to snap his cable, and offer to trade his 'broken brakes' for a sack of weed or something... cuase they are the same brakes I have and before I ruined mine, I had them dialed. Or should I buy some higher quality brakes? I hear the evolvers are good... Advice please? I am going to stay relatively quiet.

	Evolvers Lever of your choice (primo, Diatech, pretty much everything is good and personal preference) Odyssey brake cable (linear or the braided are nice) koolstop phat padds are wicked good, but I hear the odyssey ones are good thats pretty much the best/cheapest setup..Although you should probably buy one part at a time until they work. I'd start with a new brake and maybe some pads if yours are horrible. Then I'd try to relube and redo my brake lever, and then a new cable if yours is feeling like shit. I probably didnt help you at all, only confused more. clink

	brakes do break way to easy... my f5 broke the oryg cables at the gyro so i replaced them w/ odysses and the same thing happened. now my f5 has broken cables hangin off it and a lever with out the finger piece. what ever you do dont replace them w/ oryg parts, they have to be the worst available. 2005 Haro Nyquist Pro

	It sounds like you have streched your cable to fuck. Serch for a "dial you brakes" how to on the internet. I would explain here, but its not really worth my precious minutes. Flat UK
