Brakes...

[Catrin]

I spoke with my LBS and I am going to have them check it out before I ride it again. Because of my small hands and my very short reach, there isn't hardly any room for adjustment. Before taking it I will make certain the wheels are centered, clean the brakes with a bit of rubbing alcohol and make certain nothing is in the grooves of the brake pads, and clean the rims. I won't do more than that with the brakes. These brake pads have over 2k miles on them so I imagine that is at least part of this.

I won't be able to take it in before next Monday, so guess I won't be riding this week Hopefully there will be a miracle cure when I do the above, but frankly, as hard as I've been hitting all of my activities lately my legs will probably appreciate the break. After my experiences yesterday every time I tried to stop, I won't risk a repeat until I know it is fixed.
