RE: screws, tyres and rear brake

["Penick, Stephen" <penick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, I haven't really had a chance to look at it.  It started doing this last
night.  I felt around the rotor, but I can't say that I noticed anything.  I
will admit that I'm one of those that would rather be riding than
maintaining or cleaning.  Is there any technique you can suggest for
checking the pads for wear?  If it requires disassembly, then I may just
have the dealer look into it when I have the rear tyre replaced in a week or
so.

How long do you figure these pads last?  I thought there was someone else on
the list that had problems with their rear brake, was that you, Jim?

Thanks,

Stephen Penick

    Have you checked for pad wear?
