Two weeks ago I had an issue about my brakes QR not working and asked about on this site Road rim bike brakes don't open when using the release

I got some help - and I am very thankful for that - pointing at replacing my cables. I did so and cleaned the brakes in the process. I followed the Park Tools book for that. During the first ride the rear brake opened, and since then I have not been able to close it. See this video https://i.imgur.com/RouHYPP.mp4

It looks like the mechanism which is supposed to maintain the brake closed has gone too soft.

    There is something wrong with the "lock device". It should be grabbing onto the mating surface to hold things closed. Commented Jul 24, 2021 at 0:40
  • @daniel is it something that can be inspected or fixed? Commented Jul 24, 2021 at 5:54

    It requires inspection by a perceptive mechanic. Commented Jul 24, 2021 at 11:56
