1Your pads may just need bedding in. What model of Iron Horse bike?– Argenti ApparatusCommented Jan 10, 2018 at 0:40

Iron Horse Revolution, though it's not the kid's size one; it's the 24" frame. I'm tiny, lol. I don't think it could be bedding in; my road bike's brakes bed in after a few minutes of riding. I've been torturing the brakes on the Iron Horse to get it to do ANYTHING. I wouldn't be surprised if I snapped the brake levers off at this rate! :P– yolloooolCommented Jan 10, 2018 at 0:54

1How sure are you that the pads aren't contaminated? Sounds exactly like that's the problem.– alexCommented Jan 10, 2018 at 3:51

1New outers were required to fix cable discs on my sons bike. Without putting in new outers as well as inners, I hesitate to eliminate cable problems.– mattnzCommented Jan 10, 2018 at 8:29

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. mountain-bike), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
