Not sure if its much help but, mine is shagged, there was alot of travel on it to the point where the handle was almost vertical, turned out to be the rear calipers seizing, which seems to happen quite a bit, its managed to be freed and now its perfect, as it did fail the MOT last week on this (and a few other bits LOL) but always worth a check, especially if your sure its not the cable, there is a good FAQ for cable adjustment though if you do need it. Thumbs up
