Here's a video on how to install a new cable for a sidepull caliper brake on a bicycle. The one thing you don't see clearly on the video is the insertion of the cable in the retaining bolt. There is a small hole in there that you have to pass the cable in before you tightened the bolt. Apart from that, it is pretty easy. Have fun and ride safe.

If you need more info on brakes, go to the main brake article here. You will find more info but no cool background music, you will have to provide your own. :)

Well, the music was great and I even ripped it!! However it was not that instructional. Mainly it showed putting thewire through the cable and that was that. I need to know how TO ADJUST MY BRAKES!! When I apply the front and read one side on front and bake stay and if I don't pull it out they will rub and make a sound and pollibly wear down the rubber on the brake pad.
The video is an added instructional tool. The main article on brakes should help you out better. Your problem is simple to fix. Just loosen the bolt that holds the caliper on the fork, put the caliper so that both brake pads are equally apart from the rim, tighten the bolt and voila, you're done. You will however have to provide your own background music for this one. :)
Good job man. You really helped me figure out my 4 year-old's brakes. I know, should have been simple, but three days later here I am. Thanks again.
you're pretty much AWESOME.
thank you for all the wonderful info.
p.s. your article about front and rear derailleur allignment was a lifesaver--and a self confidence boost once i succeded. :)
Thank you for the great compliments Melissa, I'm happy this helped you out.
