I picked up a Univega Gran Turisimo at the dump for free, and can't seem to get the brakes to work. Except for the brakes, the bike is great. Gears are fine, frame is fine, everything is good but the brakes. I think it has cantilever brakes, where one cable pulls two that apply pressure on the rim with pads. I know I need no pads, but I can't seem to get enough tension in the brake cable. Is it the cable itself, or is there something that I can do to fix it?
