Dec 11, 2016 at 12:56 comment added Matthias Kauer Thanks for your help. The noodle was indeed badly bent and broken at one location. The cables seemed fine to me, so I let them be for now. Total cost about 10 EUR including shipping.

Dec 1, 2016 at 22:44 comment added Criggie @Batman you suspect the noodle holder is bent or oversized?
Dec 1, 2016 at 21:53 comment added Batman Well, ideally you want to use the noodle that was designed for the particular brake; I've used 3rd party noodles with some Avid brakes and had issues with the quick release (but not with the Avid noodle). I don't see evidence based on the pictures that the noodle is in bad condition.
