Last night in my apartment, I happened to lift up the rear end of the FP, and turn the rear wheel by hand. I discovered that the right brake pad was rubbing slightly on the rim.
Well as Ricky says, it is an easy design to work on, and I adjusted it. Now the two pads are equal distance from the rim.
I thought to myself that even though one of the brake pads was sticking slightly, the bike still felt quite effortless to cruise around on after all those miles. Now with the rear wheel running 100% free, it should roll a bit easier.
