  1. Hi! My wheel has no "freewheel" after replacing my my formula break pads in fact it feels like I'm dragging the brakes. It seems like they are too "thick" as in not to spec, the rotor gets between but in with a rather too tight for comfort fit. My rotors aren't warped and I pushed the pistons back carefully during installation (I've done this on various cars many times over the years, yeah I know they bike would be far more delicate ;-) ) The pads I've replaced them with are a pair bought from Olympic Cycles here in Cape Town by www.definitivebikes.com I'm not quite sure what to do apart from putting the old pads in for now, they have about 1mm on them. Comparing the old pads vs the new ones: Base thickness 2.1 mm for both Base shape, identical Overall thickness New 4mm, Old 3mm (of course this is wear) Any advice / help would be appreciated. Thanks, Greg
  2. Hey guys, I have a beginner question and it relates to a solution suggested by Hubbers on a similar forum: One of the front caliper pistons is sticking out very slightly and making it impossible to slide the rotor in without serious drag. It's obviously a tight fit to begin with but I had no problem when changing my rear pads. It was tight but with fiddling I got it right. Many have suggested letting a few drops of the mineral oil out to get the piston out of the way. Perhaps it was bled without a bleed block or something. Anyway, just looking for a few steps to follow to be able to try this solution without screwing my brakes up or getting an air bubble in. Thanks for your help!

  4. Ever wondered where all those parts you see hanging in bike shops come from? We all know they get there through distributors but it's not common for most people to get insight into that side of the bike industry. Keen to check it out for myself, I was quick to jump when invited to spend a day with the guys from Rush Sports at their warehouse and dealer evening. Click here to view the article
