How to replace brake pads
The appalling weather of the last few months is likely to have placed bicycle maintenance at the top of your agenda, particularly if you’ve been hoping to save money on mechanic’s bills. The bicycle is still a beautifully simple device and most procedures can be carried out by the home mechanic – like replacing brake pads, for instance.

From the importance of correct shoe orientation to cable tension adjustment once your new, thicker pads are in place, Jon covers it all. Follow his advice by following this link.
