I got this bike:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GFDQN8D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The brake is a mechanical brake. It says "Peak" on it. I have read that they are similar to the Avid bb5's.
I have watched probably 2hrs worth of tutorials altogether. I have spent days on this and I cannot figure it out. I have set them up and tuned them using multiple different methods. Each one ends up with the same result.
When I adjust the brake lever and tighten the retention bolt, the first time I use the brake, it's good. I squeeze the brake a quarter of the way to the handlebars and I stop. After 5 squeezes, suddenly I am getting no braking power. The brake arm moves the same amount as always, the pads seem to contact, from what I can see anyways, but no power. By the 5th squeeze, the brake lever is also touching the handlebars.
I tried replacing the cable, replacing the brake line, taking the cable out of the housing, all results in the same thing. I cannot figure it out.
