      If you have cable brakes, remove the inner cables from the brake housings and check for dirt and kinks. If the cable is kinked, you will need to replace it with a special tandem cable (standard cables are too short).

      As strange as it sounds, you may need to increase suspension preload to make the system work properly. If this does not work, visit a good bike store and ask them; you may need a new spring in your suspension units that better suits your weight.
