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.
