Hello! How can we help you?

How can I remove the cable/cable head from the brake lever?

I'm trying to remove the heads of each brake cable from both levers. I can't push it out sideways without hitting the parking brake locking mechanism. The cables are removed from the body of the walker, as I'm replacing the drums and brake shoes on my Trionic. 



Do I need to remove anything else to have easy access to slide the heads out of their slots from the side?

In order to remove the cable/cable head from the brake lever, please do as follows:

  1. Loosen the two screws that clamp the Veloped U-shaped grip bar (behind the rubber grip) and pull the grip bar out of the vertical 'grip post'. 
  2. Loosen the small screw on the rubber grip 'clamp', and remove the grip. 
  3. Loosen the Allen key screw on the side of the brake lever a little (max one turn), and you can slide off the brake lever from the grip tube. 
  4. Detach the rear wheel. 
  5. The main body of the brake lever, its cable adjuster screw and the nut on the adjuster screw all have a slot for the brake cable. By aligning these slots, you can unhook the old brake cable from the brake lever if you turn/pull the lever to the very end of its motion range (fully pulled). 
  6. Attach the new brake cable to the brake lever as described above but in reverse.

Attach the brake cable end to the brake, and read the instructions here on how to centre the brake.

  • Great product…

    I have the Walker 14er and love it for walking the dog as it goes anywhere. Bought this one to use when I go out shopping, etc. and am so pleased with it as I feel much safer when I use it. I do find it a little bit heavy but thoroughly recommend it…

  • A new life after 7 years…

    I've only had my Veloped a week, and every day I've taken small excursions around the city and the running track… After TBE and meningitis, my balance is not as it used to be, on top of that I have foot arthrodesis that hasn't healed, so in 3 years I…

  • The Veloped 14er is now my travelling companion…

    The Veloped 14er arrived this afternoon! I immediately trained my circulation on a 2 km excursion; the upper handle height adjustment fits my needs perfectly. The excellent documentation on the website made it very easy to set up the order.

  • Fantastic product!…

    The Veloped Tour is the Rolls Royce of rollators (infact it isn't correct to call it a rollator-its so much more) I thought long and hard about making this purchase as it isn't cheap but am so glad that I decided to buy it. For someone like me who ha…

  • Veloped - a great product…

    Very good advice before buying. Super quality and ingenious handling of the Veloped. Overall, a great product.…

  • Amazing!!…

    Here the Trek 14er comes in. Unlike regular rollators, it's designed to cope with rough/uneven terrain, it's sturdy enough to support me, yet still lightweight enough for me to lift in and out of my car etc. It has a seat for when I have to stop and …

  • Very satisfied…

    The manoeuvrability and quality of the components are excellent. The Walker, with its large tyres, is much easier to steer than a conventional model, especially on uneven terrains such as pavements or gravel paths. The high axles on the rear wheels i…
