Any question answered...

Who stole my rear light? At work? But left the skully?

WANKER.

@DFP: Are your pads the right way around?

If not, perhaps you need homeopathic pads. The absence of braking will stop you.

Sorry. Couldn't carry that as well.

I have a road bike with shimano 600 dual pivot brakes and I have been really appalled at the weak as piss braking.

I have a old beater with chrome rims and single pivot brakes, and it stops sharper than the road bike which has dual pivot brakes, shimano pads (like new) a CXP33 rim on the back (machined surface has worn down and become concave) and ive tried both a open4cd and a campag omega v on the front.

Everything feels similarly weak. I dont really get it.

Ive tried friends bikes which have generic tektro (or worse) road brakes with basic cheapy pads, but they feel dead sharp almost like v-brakes.

Why cant I get this stopping power?

bad chakra.

tl: dr.

What's it mean?

Too long - didn't read (it).

Look at cleaning the pads and rims. I would use brake cleaner to clean the debris off. Or a non abrasive cleaner such as cif. I might even give the pads a scrub with hot soapy water and a toothbrush.

Nah, you know roughly where I live. Which is probably for the best ;)

I'm such a good stalker, you didn't notice me. :P

Thought I saw you the other day coming out or going in to a house around there, thought it was you but was on a motorbike so thought I'd ask/mention it next time I saw you.

I tried that ages ago, no luck.

Only two possibilities left:

1. Shimano Brake Pads are really awful.

2. Machined Rims offer massively improved braking power.

Where's the hash-key on MacBook?

there isn't one, you need to press alt-3

i think its number one.
buy some swissstop green and and see how you get on.
my braking power was pretty shite when i was using stock pads, changed to these pads and they are awesome.

1. get someone who knows what they are doing to set them up

Thanks for that. I have bought my daughter a Bianchi with 24" tubulars (the rims are a little dented and out of true) which i would like to replace with clinchers as i saw TFG had rims available for £15 each but they are 540s which seems to suggest that they are wheelchair rims and thus reduces tyre options somewhat. I will measure the rims tomorrow as it is elsewhere due to birthday suprises and all that. Any further guidance or suggestions would be gratefully received. At the moment I think sticking with the tubulars may be best. So maybe i need new rims?

thanks Spotter** #-)**

Kanye West smilie?

If vegans use no animal products, why can they use fossil fuels?

Because the fossils died from natural causes, therefore the vegans are not responsible for their suffering.

The fossils were never alive.

I don't think they are allowed any animal products, death and suffering don't come into it.

I like Balki's creationist take on this.

Yeah, or they could eat roadkill

Vegan girls, do they spit or swallow?
