Scary

Well it is nearing halloween! A bike we fixed today had no working front cable disk brake - it just stopped working apparently - and yes, it would have done - because the brake pads had dropped out somewhere. The pads are only held in place on this particular brake by a very small spring. This must have broken and allowed the pads to wiggle their way out under braking! It now has new pads and the owner had been advised to check the spring is still in place every ride!
