Nearly three weeks ago I attempted to fit some Koolstop brake pads to the front of my Ribble, but I gave up after a lot of faff. Returning to the task today meant more filing, this time of the washers. The pads are now on the bike, but I couldn't be bothered to faff with the rear brake and just fitted some new Campagnolo blocks to the back brake.
I also cleaned the cassette and chain. I then tried to stop the chain rubbing on the front mech when using the 50 x 12 and 50 x 13 gear. However, I've discovered the problem's caused by the chain sitting higher than it should on the chainring, which is caused by huge amounts of chain wear. As much as it pains me, I'm going to have to spend more money on the bike.
