  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. Can anyone advise please? I'm struggling to replace the gear cable (for rear derailleur), but I cannot see how to thread the new cable in the handlebar grip. It's a combination brake and gear lever. According to salesperson in bike shop, the rubber boot over the back of the handgrip should expose the feeder hole which seats the lug on the cable. My brake/gear lever has a hard plastic cover under the rubber book which the gear cable runs beneath. This plastic cover seems to be riveted in place under the handlebar tube, and there is a spring behind the rivet. I can't think it is right that the rivet should be removed. I've taken off the small top dust cover, and locating nut - that didn't release anything or reveal a hidden attachment point - and it's now not secure, the 8mm nut won't engage the threaded stud anymore - I assume that cover was cosmetic and not important. All experienced advice much appreciated. If a photo will help, I can provide some.
