Default ebrake prob on the 924s

all of the sudden the 924 has almost no ebrake. I checked under the rear and couldnt find any evidence of a broken cable. So where do these usually break, or do you think it just stretched suddenly?

Have you pulled the rotor and looked at the brake shoes? It's a simple set up. It's gotta be the cable is broken or way out of adjustment, or the shoes are messed up.

It always did take a good, long pull to engage. Have you checked the adjusting nut at the base of the handle? It's a royal pain to get your hands in there because of the seat but it might just be wanting a tightening up. It's the same adjusting principle as the throttle cable.

havent checked it as of yet. I will this week. IT always seemed to grab real good and now after the alignment its like it barely grabs at the top of the pull. Ill pull the wheels, check that they are both working and then adjust them out.
