I finally fitted the new brake pads to my mountainbike at the weekend only to find that the suspension in the headset (front!) has completely seized up. Apparently these things are almost impossible to fix on your own and I don't even have the tool to take it apart. Bummer.Perhaps the only solution is to upgrade to a lefty...
That ride in the rain sure did cost you!

Yes it certainly did, there was a £60 entry fee as well!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI also managed to order the wrong brake pads (should have fitted according to the websote however) so that will be at least another £20.

No it's bicycle repair man.
He's mending it with his own hands. Look how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut.
' How can I ever thank you, bicycle repair man ?'
It's all in a day's work for bicycle repair man. 'Our Hero.' Wherever bicycles are broken - there's Bicycle Repair Man.

I managed to get the bearings to move last night, but it is not very smooth to say the least!
