In the future, you wont have to replace cables if read the manuals and spray lube in your brake lines as a preventative maintenance!!!

Thank bro

the lessons here are

replace your brake cables if they are rusty, it is possible to free rusty brake cables but that doesnt matter so dont make pointless statements, get free decals, and as mopedman said lube your cables for preventative maintenance.

He'll stop posting so much as soon as he hits 5 wrenches. Look at Toad, how many times have we heard from him lately?

Please, come right on over and give it a try. The resulting picture would be raved about on the forum. You see my hand shaking? That's not fear, that's anticipation. :eyeroll:
