RJ-1917-0

For the brake equalize, which balances the pressure between the left and right brakes, the gaps where the brake cables are attached may be too large, in which case the cables may get in there. If this happens, in the worst case, the brake cables may come off the equalizer when the brake is operated, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
