Handbrake

Not happy with the method of fixing the handbrake cables to the handbrake mechanism by looping the cable through the bar and using cable clamps. I found that the clamps slipped and decided to find a better method.

I drilled out the bar to 8mm to accommodate two M8 bolts. I then drilled a 3.5mm hole part way down the thread of the M8 bolt to allow the cable to pass through, then I used a washer and a M8 nylock to clamp the cable to the bar. I then adjusted the cables so that the handbrake is not activated and the callipers are free to move.
