Re: What you done t' your bike today

Shaf - thanks, but nope. The moving pad moves back and forward easily: it's as if the disc is sticking to the static pad. It's happened with 2 pairs of pads and after a caliper renewal, too. Something to do with the pad-disc interface, perhaps :ugeek:.

Broke it. :sad: Again. :(( Sticking free hub, worn rear bearings and an odd tendency for the rear cable disc brake to lock on fully (despite a change of cable, outer, caliper and pads). And it's always the MTB that fails: the "skip bike" just seems to plod on like the Top Gear Toyota Hilux...
