I used to always use 2 fingers for the front and rear brakes, even when i did XC mountain biking. Recently i have started using 1 finger on the front brake but still use 2 for the rear because my brakes are rubbish and need a good sorting out to be honest. I can defo see the advanage of using 1 finger though.
I had this problem as well and thought that the BB was wearing out. I tightened my cranks and it is alright now, so it must have been loose cranks.
Btw, does anyone know where i can get blue loctite from in the UK?
I've just worked out that the new freewheel will work after all, it was just a little bit confusing. I'm gonna try to get the old freewheel off using alot of brute force
I get my front inner tubes from halfords and my rear inner tubes from Supercycles. Never really had that much of a problem with my inner tubes, expect the front tends to punchure more than the rear.
If I was to put the new freewheel on the correct way, the lockring and 4 notches would face the bottom bracket, but the ratchet mechicism would be reverse to normal.
I still can't get the damm freewheel off. Also, the new freewheel that I brought from Supercycles won't work on my bike anyway because it is for a left hand drivetrain, which is very odd.
I think it is because the bike shop only really deals with mountain bikes, so it does not have a freewheel tool for removing a BMX 4 pin type freewheel. I've seen a tool on CRC that might do the job.
