My Fucking Bike... (lemm.ee)

My bike has really been frustrating me. I tuned the brake, but I must've done it wrong. They're not good enough... Maybe I should just go get them tuned at the store, but I did get them tuned at the store not that long ago and they're somehow fucked again. I suppose that folding it and whatnot might fuck with the brakes, but gee man it really sucks...

Well, best to have it as I have now than before; before I struggled to brake, now they brake too much... Sigh...

By the way, the word "brake" is so unintuitive, I feel like. Why isn't it just "break?!" Break does imply things being... Broken, like, to break one's stride? Meh

Are the brakes grinding? Do you have the pincer kind or disk brakes?

[–] gon@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup, pincer brakes.

Yeah, those kinda suck in general and may need frequent adjustment. If they're older it may be time to replace
