my brooks cambium is making an awful noise recently. I've stripped it down and given it a thorough clean but it's still noisy. irritating.
the stupidest bike fettling mistake I ever made was forgetting to unlock my trp hy/rd disc calipers (there's a small screw you can wind in to lock the piston arm when the wheels are out) after cleaning the bike one weekend. my drive slopes down towards a fairly busy road. not a nice sensation when you're clipped in and grab the brakes and the levers don't move...
luckily there weren't any cars coming past at the time.
