Thanks Gresp! I was stoked to find one in orchid.
I will definitely lubricate. any particular type of lube preferred for this sort of application?
One would think $150 in overhaul would take care of all of these things, no? That's why I need to learn to do his stuff myself. If I were working in a shop, no bike would leave with any sort of problem like this. I mean, after the brakes are applied and released, the pad on one side is in enough contact to seriously hamper free movement of the wheel. Is that not something the tech should have discovered and remedied? Sorry..just lamenting aloud the loss of quality service in the modern era...I can't remember the last time I paid someone to do work and it was actually done correctly.
