Summer Plans


Postby David Horn » Apr 13, 2006 @ 10:34pm

Nice. I've spent all day fighting with the brakes on my own bike. Managed to introduce air into the system when trying to lube the pistons. After doing that, I discovered that apparently the lubricant I used can destroy the rubber seals, so now I'm concerned about that.

On top of all of this, I discovered that the little R clip that holds the brake pads in has fallen out, which I means I have to drive to the bike shop tomorrow morning to try to get hold of another one. (Which will probably mean buying a new set of pads to get the bit.)

I'm supposed to be riding at 10.30, fingers crossed that the bike shop is open.

Moaning is your marketable skillset hmm?
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
