Re: [ST] Standard Maintainance Question??

[Colt4530 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Brake problem can be from varying thickness or warpage.  You can 
check warpage with a screwdriver resting on the fork or caliper. 
Thickness variation is best checked with dial calipers, but can be done 
with an adjustable wrench.
