Handle bar cable

snapped cable released brake, handle is stuck behind panel

Hi - The cable from inside the Buzz handlebar is not available as a seperate spare part item. To obtain a replacement you need to replace the handlebar, which comes with all the required inner workings. If your Buzz is under 2 years old please contact your retailer with your proof of purchase to make a warranty claim. If it is over 2 years old or you do not have proof of purchase you should contact your customer services department. If you're in the UK please call 01284 413 141 Mon-Fri 8.30-4.30.

Hi,
When I have had that trouble with my own bike, I have taken the cable off and replaced the vinyl housing. If that isn't an option, get the cable as free as you can, then lubricate the rear derailer, and with a cloth, so as not to soil your hands, grab hold of the derailer and work it back and forth to free it up. Riding the bike causes all the road grime to accumulate on the derailer making it stick.
Hope this is of some help
Joe

Did this happens before to go for extended cable??Then your new cable have too much curve so it cannot pull easily.

hi this is replaceable but you have to replace the handle and not just the cable easy to do look at

Technical Instructions
See picture below
1. Remove door trim panel and water shield per
NOTE: Place a strip of masking tape along the edge of door before removing trim panel to prevent scratching the door with the trim panel removal tool.

2. Snap cable housing end from slot on inside door handle assembly and disconnect cable.
NOTE: Use care to prevent bending of cable housing retainer bracket.

3. Remove rear window channel retaining bolt to allow access to door latch.

4. Position a block (screwdriver handle) between the latch and the door inner panel and snap the cable housing end out of slot (towards inner panel) on door latch assembly and disconnect cable at latch.
NOTE: Use care when removing cable housing to avoid bending of the latch. Discard cable.

5. Hook up new cable at latch and snap cable housing end into slot.
NOTE: Make sure the cable housing is fully seated in the slot.

6. Apply a light film of Teflon grease to the barrel end of the cable. See Figure A.

7. Install return spring. See Figure A.
NOTE: Ensure that the push button rod is located between the spring and the door inner panel.

8. Install foam block at latch. See Figure A.

9. Position water shield over the return spring and install push pin to retain upper portion of water shield. See Figure B.
NOTE: Push pin goes in the same hole as the return spring.

10. Clean hands of grease before performing step 11.

11. Remove protective backing along the lower edges only of the water shield. See Figure A.

12. Install latch water shield at door latch. Pinch the exposed adhesive surfaces together to secure the water shield. Check to insure water shield is not showing through the door shut-face latch access hole. See Figure B.

13. Attach cable to inside door handle assembly and snap cable housing into slot.
NOTE: Make sure the cable housing is fully seated.

14. Check the gap as shown in remote control using a 3/16 drill bit shank end. The drill bit shank should fit in the gap without any clearance and a tight fit is preferred. See Figure C.

15. If the drill bit is too loose or does not fit, adjust by bending the cable bracket as required.

16. Place plastic wedge on remote bracket as shown. Wedge must fit with at least a light press fit for retention. See Figure D.

17. After installation, Apply a dab of special Teflon grease, supplied with the service cable to cable housing openings at inside handle end. The grease should surround and contact the cable all the way around, to seal the opening between the cable and the cable housing.

18. Check all latch functions to insure correct assembly of latch system. If the inside handle does not release properly, replace the inside handle remote release mechanism.

19. Reposition and install trim panel using new push pins if required.

hi you have to get the handle bar assembly and they are easy to change
here is a video of how to change one for the mothercare my3/4 but its the same as the buzz

which country are you in and i will try to get you a link to the handle part

Check the rear dérailleur and the wire which protrudes. Its sounds like it has come loose and slipped, causing you not to get any gears. Follow the wire from the r/h twist grip, along the frame and towards the rear. If the wire has come out of its stoppers then refit.

If the wire is snapped inside, you should be able to see the cable move when you change gear. When you can't see the cable move, it will be snapped inside there. Are the exposed wires rusty? High possibility of a snapped wire.

I hope this helps, please vote for me if it does. Thanks.

if you pried the hood up enough to see the latch then you should be able to reach the cable with a pair of pliers or vise grips, or you could see if you can reach the bolts holding the hood latch and remove it.

you may want to check where the cable attaches to the handle inside the vehicle and see if it is still connected.perhaps the release handle is broken and you might be able to pull the release cable with pliers.

good luck and I hope this helps.

YOU CAN FIX IT EASILY AT HOME IF IT IS JUST THE HANDLE. THE CABLE WOULD REQUIRE ABOUT 1-1.5 HOURS LABOR TO REPLACE SO DONT PAY MORE THAN THAT.
