Advice for for a cycle bike/problems with disk brakes?
A flatpack bike I recently got has a few problems.
Well firstly, it feels like I'm riding up a mountain on really low gears, compared to my last bike I seem to be doing twice the work.
I investigated, did some tweaking on the disk breaks, a little less rub, but still some.
Tried again, not a giant difference.
Does it seem I need to try to altar the distance of the pads from the disk? I peered into that general area, and there doesn't seem to be any gap at all between the disk and the pads. I haven't done this yet.
Oh and an added bonus...whenever I put too much pressure on the pedals, the gears randomly change and bugger up....a solution I think is to tighten up the chain?
Any advice?
Thanks
you should have about a millimeter between each side of your rotor from the pads. You don't say what kind of bike or type of brakes you have? as far as the chain goes...DO NOT TAKE LINKS OUT OF YOUR CHAIN! The problem may lie with your rear derailleur and I would suggest you take your bike to your local bike shop (not Wal Mart) and let them look at it because your brake problem is a simple fix and if you cant or haven't gotten it yet then you likely do not know what you are doing and you can screw it up even more. Let a professional do it for you and maybe even show you how!
