Cleaning and Lubricating Gravel Bike Brake Levers



The audacity! You think a quick fix with WD-40 and a dirty rag is maintenance? That's like tossing a band-aid on a bullet wound! Do you know what kind of wear and tear you're putting on those cantilever brakes? The very ones you're complaining about? And now, you're questioning the importance of proper lubrication? Unbelievable. A specific type of lubricant is not just about 'working just fine', it's about precision, about performance, about safety. You're not just talking about brakes, you're talking about lives. And you want to skimp on that? Get real.
 
So, we’re all pretending that a fancy lube is gonna save those cantilever brakes, huh? Seriously, how does anyone think a quick spray fixes years of neglect? The cables are the real issue, not some overpriced lube. Why are we so fixated on the levers when the guts of the system are falling apart? It’s like putting lipstick on a pig. What’s the logic here? Do we just not want to face the reality of a full upgrade?
