Brakes seem pretty good now, after a bit of fiddling. Got them how I like them: front grabby and back with a little more travel.
The front squeals - not sure if the pads just need to settle in or if there’s something I need to adjust. I’ve toed the pads in a 10p width (because that’s what was in my pocket to use as a spacer) - is that enough? Too much?
I’m currently trying to stop myself looking for a black stem and levers. Don’t really want to buy anything else for this now until it’s been ridden a bit, but I have it in my head it needs an all black cockpit but with gum grips.
Really looking forward to giving this a shake down now but unfortunately I’m stuck at home with kids and puppy for the time being...
