Hi, I have a really annoying problem with a Ribble bike that I bought on Ebay. All was going well until I got a puncture and needed to change the tyre. It has got campag components on it and the pins that you are supposed to switch to release the brakes are both jammed up. I can't move them so the only way to release the brakes is to release the tension in the cable at the calipers. This is obviously not convenient, especially when having to deal with a puncture by the side of the road.
I have sprayed about two cans worth of WD40 into them and still they won't budge. I also took them to two bike shops - Halfords had no idea whatsoever and the LBS advised me to try the WD40.
I am running out of ideas with this one.
Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks,
Jim.
