Organic pads.

7°C, brisk SE. grey & dry.

Clarke’s Organic VX pads.

Cable disc brakes tend to wear unevenly. There’s only 1 piston and pressure on the opposite pad is by bending. So, of this pair, one has 1mm and the other 2mm. 1mm is the recommended limit so I changed them.

The other wheel’s pads needed a clean & rub down with emery paper. Job done & braking is far better. I can trust them on the road now.

A day of firsts.

A day of firsts, first ride in shorts, first without a helmet, first butterfly in the garden, first bumble-bees. All that work on that bike has succeeded. Before setting off, I took the bottom-bracket out and carefully re-fit. The ride was silky smooth.
BTW: if I count the rides, this year to now, it’s over 1,200 miles.
