Just prepping the Goat for Sats Afan ride.
Built up and finished yesterday. Justbackdated furnished me with the final bronze cable stop I needed
(cheers!)
So, spin round the park with my son (just 4, but can now ride completely unassisted, so he wants to go out alll the time
), and I can't stop. Realise I have just pulled through the rear cable, dang, forgot to tighten that clamp. Muppet.
Nevermind, rely on the front for now. But this is cack. It just really doesn't seem to work. Pull levers hard, nadda much there.
These are using a pace rocker thing.
Reset back brakes, and they are cack too. doh!
Setup:
Pauls levers
NOS XTR M900 cantis
New cables
NOS XTR pads
Question is, will the pads bed in and braking improve much, or should I just accept I need to put my foot on the rear tyre?
Been so long since I used some new XTR cantis, I can't remember how they should be!
Cheers..
Oh, and as I couldn't stop, said son managed to randomly ride sideways straight into my spokes. arrrrrrh!
