Squeaky brake levers

nitrogen · 2010-08-20 11:17:27

I have Shimano Dura-ace brake levers, and they are quite stiff and squeaky when pressed. What tools/lubrication do I need to fix? Or should I let a professional look at it? Thanks

Replace the cables, inners and outers, as that is the usual source of said squeak and tightness.

Squeaky or rattling?

How old are they? How many miles?
