@bikewer well it is a new bike but the thing is here the mechanics are pathetic and have very low knowledge. So I’m thinking of solving my problems myself.
I did install new pads, so that’s not the issue.. and I do have cantilevers as the description on Sheldon brown’s site matches with mine. Yes this is an inexpensive bike. Costed me about 83USD. But the thing is this the best and the most inexpensive bike to Indian standards! I couldn’t have got anything better here.. so this is it.
“a silk purse out of a sow's ear” ?? what do u mean? Having decent brakes is too much too ask?
@frogs yes I have steel rims. I think aluminum rims are unheard of here. So I have to do with this. I am in India. I’m sorry I meant to say that I wanted to lube the chain. My bad..
@mtbva and what would be the correct handlebar height in this respect?
“It's probably a bushing not a bearing” pls explain.
Is there any grade or specification for waterproof grease? And where should I apply it?
Chain rub is mostly happening on the big ring L
Yes I do have a cheap bike. But it’s the best available here. So this is it.
@all i have a new problem.. the joint of the handlebar and fork is constantly becoming loose.. what could be wrong?
thanks all....
