Got the new brakes…

Well….the new brakes for the bike came today and I just installed them….I can use the center pull brake levers again and it even stops just using them….so that worked out pretty cool…I was feeling a little concerned how the brakes were working…or not working on the fast downhills and the pads were leaving black crap on everything…. and vibrating so badly that the front wheel would go into a death wobble….I guess 40 years is the limit for the pads, huh? I’ll give the new ones a good test tomorrow when I get out early…and the new pads even came with new, metal valve caps that have rubber seals inside of them to keep the air from leaking out…pretty cool for 10 bucks total…and no shipping charge…
