| Re: Bike query...
All that info is on the web. Sheldon Brown's website is mostly highly
regarded in this group.
This is definitely the right group by the way as is rec.bicycles.tech
My LBS would not charge but yours might a couple bucks. Takes about 5
minutes. There are screws that loosen and realign. You might see it if you
look and just figure it out. Pictures would help and it depends on center
pull or whatever brakes you have. Brake pads themselves should also be on
the right way(forward and backward facing) and touch the rim only when you
squeeze the brake lever.
Levers should move only 1/4" to half an inch to be able to brake in a hurry.
Pump brakes BTW when stopping. It is faster than just one long squeeze.
Cheers
have fun
