Trying to figure out wifes bike(2013 Slice RS). I’d bring it in but I had it into the shop three times last year (all to diff shops) and each time it came out something was broke including her crank falling off mid ride so even though the tri in the house was a bit intimidating I figured I’d add it to my fixing list.
I’m trying to adjust her brakes or preferably swap out pads in the rear. I’ve read through this thread and I’ve made sure the noodle is in the correct position. I’ve done it and I thought I was good to go but after a few times using the brakes I noticed the right side kept barely rubbing, but it rubbed so no good. I tried adjusting with no luck, after some time I put the old pad on the right side and left a new one on the left for some testing. Worked great for like 20 times but then it start rubbing a bit on the other side(left). No matter what I try to do I seem to be running into the problem where it wants to stick to one side a hair more than the other? Thoughts or suggestions? I’ve read other similar things in this read but maybe I’m missing something. The front isn’t a problem replacing the pads and adjusting but maybe there’s more to the tension with the cantilevers.
Also, I am unable to remove the top bracket as the two screws in the picture(highlight with an * ) seem to be stripped? Can someone tell me if this should be a 2.0? This is a first for me so I haven’t tried to remove them before but the 2.5 seems to large and the 2.0 seems to move quite a bit and I didn’t want to strip as finding replacement parts for this bike has required me to call bike shop then have them call cannondale, then I pick up from bike shop. (yes I had to do some fancy work with an allen wrench to remove and replace the pads on the right side ;) ).
I’m pretty new with a lot of this, so I apologize in advance if I’m missing something easy.
Thanks much!
