Giant bike brakes

[robthecake]

Hi. I’ve got a giant propel with some dubious brakes. They are not calliper in fact I don’t know what they are called
The problem is the brake cable is very close to the tyre very very close
Last week I saw a man on a propel. A newer model and his brake cable has plenty of clearance. Can anybody shed some light on this matter

The cable can be pretty close to the tyre especially if you are running a slightly larger tyre to original spec.
A picture of your brakes would be good to see.
