Garage
So today I got around to fixing my buddy Hank's rear brake. This is on the bike that I had replaced the spoke for him on the rear wheel.
What a pita.
The pivot on the right side was not wanting to pivot as it was deformed some how besides being super grimy with dirt and oil. I finally got it to pivot so it'd center nicely. As I left to take it back to his house I applied the front brake and was greeted with a scalded cat squeal. So, back to the garage for one more adjustment.
He was pleased with the outcome of my efforts and should enjoy riding his bike more now too.
