Bike brake cables popping out of brake handles A couple days ago I got in a small bike crash and since then both my front and back brakes have this issue. As shown in the picture, the metal ends of the cables come out of the handles when I squeeze the brakes, and then they get stuck outside and my brakes become useless. What is the fix for this?
It's hard to tell completely, but it looks as though the cable isn't under proper tension.  The housing end shouldn't be floating outside the adjuster barrel like so.  It's possible they were loose before and assuming an amazing "power grab" during teh crash they may stretched or slipped a bit (at the other end of cable).  Adjust the brakes.
