I purchased all new cables for my Big Red. As it was - I did not have a hand brake hooked up to the rear brakes - but now I do. Does anyone know where I can buy the spring that goes on the end of the cable (on the brake side - cable return spring or what ever it is called???)? Beatrice cycle does not list them - just not sure where to look. They never come with new cables.

Thanks

Yep, hardware store, Home Depot, or Lowe's for springs. Try CheapCycleParts.com or Bike Bandit, also.
