At least I don't mind being in my nice warm workshop when it is so bad outside!
Our 'errant' Hope disk brake was fine this morning but a little test ride showed the pads needed changing as well. Plenty of meat on them but they must have got contaminated. The front brake is juddering and squealing badly so it needs fettling as well.
We fettled a battered Merlin mtb - this bike has had a hard life so new brake pads, cables, cassette, chain. Why, oh why do folk not clean their bikes once in a while and keep them lubed? I must have chiselled off a ton of gunge from jockey wheels in the last week or so - some so bad they no longer rotate! When thing are seized up labour costs have to go up to cover the time taken to sort it.
