You know, you could just call me an asshole. I could care less. Posting a picture of a burro and Courtney Love doesn't really do much to prove your point.

By the way, for an old fart, you sure do cry alot about what people you've never even met say about you on the internet.

And still, you didn't put me in my place. Just looking at the pictures of that guy's brakes, you'll notice that he's running low gearing with chainstay brakes, which puts the arms far closer to the chain than your setup.

Your problem is that your chain is too loose, and that you're whining about something that's practically a non-issue; it's not like your brake pad is going to fall off, and it's not as if your chain is going to snap from rubbing against the arm.

edit: I deleted a long tirade, because I didn't want to make him cry.
