It is quite difficult to tell what is wrong from your description, but really, assuming you put the new calliper on properly, you have only two options here - either the cable is too tight or it is too loose. I'd be surprised if the cable has snapped, just because its not something you see often. If you're really struggling, you should take it to your LBS - it is a trivial job to do | |
