Howdy all,
Last week a had a puncture and took it to a shop to get it fixed (lazy, I know) and since then my front break has been a bit rubbish. I can pull the break leaver all the way to the handelbar and while the bike stops, it doesn't do so quite so abruptly as I would like. I noticed the guy in the bike shop adjusting something on the breaks to get them to release. But they have been left too "spongey" for my liking.
How do I adjust them back to how they were? I'm running a 2010 Tricross Sport which I believe has traditional cantilever breaks.
NB: I've read the info on Sheldon Brown on breaks and the adjusting thereof but I'm not exactly sure what I need to do to my bike :-)
