Hi, I guess that this is a pretty basic question, but I'm a novice and only just starting to get
informed around doing my own maintainence.
My bike has just had a service to check that everything is ok for the summer. The front brake blocks
were worn and so were replaced.
There is an occassional scuffing of a brake block against the rim of the front wheel. The wheel is
aligned and the problem seems to be more about one of the brake callipers not fully returning to
position after the brakes are applied. This was a problem that occassionally occured with the old
blocks so I don't think that the change of blocks is a cause.
I've tried tightening the adjustment screw on the calliper to move it away from the rim a bit, my
main question really (showing my lack of confidence I guess) is to ask whether I can cause any harm
experimenting with the adjustment screws.
Thanks in advance to any experts out there who can help.
Kind Regards, Paul
