Hi I’m Robert and I have attention deficit disorder.
I might say something very random and usually in an incoherent fashion.

I have a mountain bike. It is old, but I like it (it has crummy brakes). I have a GT RTS Team with really crummy brakes. There are miles of single track around my area of town and I can not stop very well when I ride them. Did I mention I have really, really crummy brakes?

SO… I just pulled the old bike out, cleaned/lubed it, put on some new tires (and a tube) and rode it for the first time in a year or so... and i had fun.
Anyway, hello.

Hi High R.

Sounds like you need new brake cables. Ride on dude. Cool animation.

I bet that would help. I plan on dumping the cantilever system I am using now and going with V-brakes in the near future, so i guess i will be getting new cables.
