Off Topic for Fri, 02/13/2009.

by schmalz

Welcome to the Fri, 02/13/2009 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?

Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

I swapped out the brake pads on my ultegra rear brake. With the new pads in, the brakes get “stuck” in the braking position … it is almost as if the spring tension is too loose. The cable and cable housing seems fine, but I can’t seem to get enough tension in the cable and pressure on the spring to have the brakes snap back away from the rim after braking. Thoughts?

you might have too much torque on the mounting bolt. loosen it up a little.

or, alternatively, throw out the bike and go buy a new one.

bikeonomic stimulus at work!
