now with added squeek.
« on: October 18, 2005, 04:03 PM »
ok, so I was having trouble with me ole brakes, that's sorted now with some nice new brake blocks, but, the back end squeels like a tourist in the backwoods, also the brake doesn't release after it's gripped the rim.

Any ideas?

you need to run the blocks toe in...i.e the front tip of the block is to be nearer to the rim than the back...it will stop it chattering and sqeeling

haro, how do you do
