    I don’t know if you can help but the handle clutch of the bike (small bike age 8 years ) doesn’t work

    Thanks – we found a Dawes mountain bike by a dumpster and after lubricating the somewhat rusty chain, we found the only thing wrong with it was the brake levers. One was missing that silver part you showed how to line up, and the other had the brake cable outside the silver thing and wouldn’t slip back in. But, when we pulled on the cable manually, the wheels did stop. So, thanks for showing us how to change them and how to align that silver part.
