Sean C had a similar thing with his front pads on his last fateful rideout. Mechanic there had assembled one of the fronts wrongly. Luckily Tilt sorted that out for him. Make you wonder about these "mechanics" sometimes.

Definatly; there was a guy at uni with a bandit who had his bike serviced, and the mechanic hadnt torqued up the rear caliper bolt correctly. It had vibrated loose, then the whole caliper was flapping about on the wheel.

I only let my dad fix my bike, and I am trying to learn as much as I can to be able to do it myself - I think possibly I could trust a few of you lot on here aswell. I find it very hard to trust anyone with fixing something on my bike which, if it isnt done properly, could result in an accident and my injury.
