rear brake engaging when handlebars turn

[R3awak3n]

this one is annoying me. I immediately though, my housing is too short (trust me, its a tradition for me, I always cut housing too short and have to buy more ) Anyways, went by the LBS got some more cable and still happens. Cable is pretty long right now and when I turn handlebar to the left it kind of climples on itself and activates the rear brake. So then I was like, its too long, if I shorten it when I turn to the right it does the same thing but left is better.

What gives?

This only happens on extreme turns (90 degrees, maybe a little less) so I am going to leave it as is but never had this happen before. Dang, lately I have been so bad at bikes.

You cant turn that far while riding anyway.

Dont sweat the petty stuff and dont pet the sweaty stuff.

not the English. That one gave me similar trouble for a minute but then I got it figure out. What cable went on top of what and got it working nicely (even with the weird rear cable routing which looks cool but a bit more cleverness to set up.

Bike is a look 585 ultra. Weird because cable lengths are very similar to what I had on my spooky but that bike was fine.

I can post routing later


and Cicli is right, technically does not matter because I won't ever turn the wheel that way but I am OCD.

On the plus side, it will help prevent bars hitting the top tube

lol, oh yah, its most definitely a feature!

Doesn't the 585 have the rear brake cable enter the right side of the head tube? If so it creates a tight bend in the cable. There is no fix to the issue. But it really is not an issue since you will never have the handle bars over that much while riding.

cable enters the TT a few inches after the headtube. Bend is not super tight but when bars turn the cable gets bent on all weird ways (because it has to be long enough) and then pulls on the brake.

Oh well, I won't let me bother me. I will run the pads with a bit more clearance from the rim and should be fine.
