Front and rear brake diagrams...

[Kell]

I had to take apart both front and rear brakes at the weekend as they were getting a bit sticky.

But, true to form, I forgot to make a proper note of where all the bits sit in relation to each other so not sure if I've reassembled in the correct order.

Anyone got a link to an exploded diagram? The only link I can find is a post I made on this forum a few years' back about the rear.

I've put them back together and they work while it's on the bike stand but then part of my commute includes a 40mph downhill so I don't want them to fail.

Also, anyone know if it's possible to buy the little ferrules that sit on the springs? I managed to drop both and lose them.

Couldn't find one online over the weekend so I've had a chat with their tech team this morning and been given a PDF if anyone wants it.

Something akin to this?

That's the one.

Knew one had to be out there somewhere.

And it's number 12 I need - the spring sleeve. x2.

My rear brake would not return properly and needed the lever pushed back to release the brake. Took it apart, cleaned and greased it but no joy. My LBS dude, looking at the involved path the cable and housing require, suggested using Jagwire Elite, a cable that has both spiral twisted cable housing and the straight housing used for shifting that doesn't compress under load. Pulled off the old, cut a section of housing to match, and no trouble since with the non return problem. Hope you can find some ferries if it won't be safe without them.

Well it seems to be working so far.

From looking at pics of the new brake design, it looks like they've done away with them.
