Well, the deal was that the guy who "fixed" the brakes was NOT a mechanic, he was a sales person who wants to be a mechanic and was allowed to "unofficially" check out my bike. So that's a twist that kind of pissed me off...
But I took the bike for ride, and it seems fine. I mean I hear some noise when I am on the smallest "ring" and the smalest "plate", and also when I am on the biggest "plate" and the largest "ring." But the manager said that was normal, and I cannot remember whether it occured before the "crash" or not....
PS: Sorry about the lack of lingo re: plates and rings
PPS: I know a guy who works for Performance at their corporate offices and I might tell him the story and see what he has to say about it...Mind you I don't know if he works there as a janitor or assistant to the CEO, lol.
