Hope your wheels are ok, Tracie.

I'm assuming the pad install went ok. I can't imagine they were as incompetent as me...

There's a post from this morning somewhere. She came over last night in hopes getting her brake pads changed. For the life of me, though, I couldn't get one of the pads to stay in place. I even had a significant amount of trouble just getting the old pads reinstalled after we gave up. I also underestimated the difficulty level because I based it on my experience with my sport brakes, which just slide out the back and don't even require removing the calipers. Regardless of that, once I had the caliper removed, I couldn't figure out what the problem was...

I'm glad to hear other people don't like them either. I didn't have a lot of experience growing up, but with some help from friends I've learned a lot in the past few years. I've built lots of confidence and I know my limit. I thought this wouldn't be a big deal. That's what I get for thinking
