Got it done today

I'm scratched and scraped to fuck but the cars working again

Was ok, except getting the old cable off and the new cable onto the pedal...after that plane sailing.

Feels amazing aswell! Totally different to what it was before, lighter and a bit more springy

It has never been like this in the 4 years i've owned it so it must have been fucked since i first owned it

Cheers for the help again lads
