So just put new pads and cables on the road/commuter and now brakes don't work. It seems like the caliper has just stopped working. Anyone any ideas?

There is a little bit of rust and they do seem stiff alright. Time for new brakes or cant this be fixed?

You can usually strip down and regrease.

As for the brakes... ๐Ÿ˜›

I checked with my local consulting detective, and he agrees with me; you've done something wrong and so your brakes don't work. Ask someone who knows what they are doing to fix them.
