My brake failed this morning! Coming down Caledonian road, I pulled on the brakes and felt the front one go, as if the cable had snapped. After a pretty hairy few seconds trying to come to a stop with just the back, I have a closer look. The anchor bolt is completely loose; no thread left to screw into the brake arm.
Bugger. Had to walk from Kings Cross, too wet to rely on my back brake. Now I'm really fucking wet and pissed off.
