Hi, could anyone help.
I have replaced my brakes on a Trek 9700 with Some Shimano Deore V brakes and they seem to fit well. However I can't seem to tighten them up as there is always some play left in the brake leaver. This is the case even if I tighten the brakes so that they touch the rim of the wheel. The wheel obviously won't go round freely but I'm still able (with force) to pull the brake leaver all the way to the handle bar grip. Something is obviously stretching but the brake cable seems ok.
Prob not explaining my self very well but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks James
