DSN is a very accepting group. We won't think less of you because it took you a while to understand.... Jim A5 Posted by: "smthng else" Fri May 23, 2008 9:23 am (PDT) Calling it oil is clearly not a good idea when: -You have to buy a new bottle clearly marked "Brake Fluid" (not "oil")every time you use the stuff-Using actual oil will completely destroy the braking system -A newbie reading it might conclude that using actual oil is okaybecause someone else did it -Said newbie can have no brakes or a rear wheel lockup due to usingactual oil in the brake system I doubt that it matters, but I would have replied "Quit using oil" toevery one of your posts about this if I hadn't figured out what youwere talking about. --Jonathan "smthng" Kalmes Howdy, _________________________________________________________________ If you like crossword puzzles, then you'll love Flexicon, a game which combines four overlapping crossword puzzles into one! http://g.msn.ca/ca55/208

Friends, Oil is a good thing, keep well oiled, but don t get slippery on me. Except cod liver oil, bad memories from early childhood. I found the rear brake still got pretty warm. It seems to me that the outer brake pad, the one nearest to the wheel, is not sliding as it should. I installed the new cheapo brake pads, which by the way are the only ones available here, -with luck, occasionally- and I found that I had to file down the square holes to fit the round slide pins. It looks to me that they still need a bit more filing. Dem pins dem, dem round, mon. Ask Harry Belafonte. Mike, the outer brake pads should slide freely on the round slide pins? Early tomorrow I ll get out my beginners burglary kit with the round file, and make it slide easily, except of cause if I get a prohibition on this channel. From authorized persons. The relationship with a bike is just like marriage, it has its moments of bliss and exhileration, and many frustrations and angry moments. but you can fix or change a bike. Jacostarica.
