Oh, by the way, I got a new bike seat today and adjusted it all nice so I am feeling much better while riding.
I messed around with my front brake pads and got the pulsing to stop it seems, but they still squeal. I moved the pads up because they had a step worn into them and were partially riding on the inner rim. So now they will drag until the wear evens out. Time will tell if the front brake will be usable again. The thing grabs and pulses so much that it really upsets the bike on downhills. Trail braking is a no-no, as is chickening out mid-corner. It will teach me not to brake mid-turn, though, which is a good thing.
