Just Another Restore Thread...

[TruthHammer]

Thanks for all of the help, guys. Just a quick update on the state of my bike... I was banging my head against a wall with the front brakes ever since I got the new tires. Finally, I came across a thread where somebody else had the same issue, and it didn't have anything to do with the brakes - it was how the tire was mounted. Following the advice in the thread, I loosened up both sides of the axle, bounced the front forks up and down a few times, and tightened everything back up. And just that easy, the front tire started spinning freely - problem solved.

I've finally got this thing where I trust it, and there aren't many good weather days left. There's still plenty to do on it, but for now, I'm riding...
