    Wowza...went for a ride today and my front brake is SCREAMING!!!

    Good thing I'm taking it in (did I already say to RIver City where I bought it?) on Saturday...and bless 'em... they will give it back to me that evening....

    My feel for adjusting the brakes is too unschooled still. I think I will have them switch the brakes back...front on left....

    BIAK....I take it you like River City?

    Brake pads probably aren't toed-in right.

    Yup. I became aware of River City when I moved back to portland after college. It became my preferred place to shop when I last lived there. In fact, I used to work in an office in the building a block north (other side of the shell station).

    I still go down to portland about once a month and I try to hit the place when I'm there.

    One of their mechanics built one of the most solid wheels I ever owned. Never thought a 32 spoke wheel could be that strong.

    Good...Nothing I like better than paying someone to do something and feeling like I got a great deal no matter how much money I spent! Really glad to hear your good experience. When I was there, the pace was really busy and I was really focused on the bicycle.
    They sure have alot of bikes...I went in because they carried 2 of the bikes I was looking at: Bianchi Milano, Specialized Globe and I just loved the Globe...
