I decided to go back to local store and talk to the owner
He had helped me one day, but the brake lever problem was only discussed with the two mechanics on different days
We sat down and I explained what was wrong with lever situation, what I had said and what the mechanics said and did
I noticed immediately he was surprised and not happy, the way he looked in the direction of the shop area
He immediately stated it was a very simple procedure to do and he would personally do the set up on bike
I hope he doesn't hammer the mechanics and just instructs them
Don't want them to be mad at me for going to the owner on this
He will set bike up to 3mm pad to rim with a slight toe-in, then he can do any fine tuning needed when he fits me for bike
I decided to give them my business and have him do my work
He didn't have the Navy color in my frame size, so he ordered it today
Glad I went back down and talked to owner and got to the bottom of problem
I also want to thank all of you for your comments
It helped a great deal and helped me think through what was wrong and what I needed to do
Regards, Reid
