Your working on a bike and can't fix something that you know is an easy fix. I have been struggling all afternoon to try and get a fresh pair of brake pads in my Juicy 7 brake but I can not do it for the life of me. I swear I am about to spontaniously combust.....
Don't you hate it when....

Oh yeah! Whistler last year, get there unpack the bike , go to put the front tire on but for whatever reason can't-calipers won't open back up. So when all else fails... force it ...right??? Wrong that ends up bursting the bladder and I spend 2hours or so looking for an LBS to solve it. I must have taken off/on that front tire a million times..WTF!
I say take a moment to re group or perhaps have a mate take a look at the prob. Maybe they'll see something you don't. Of course, I had W4S with me that day and even he coudn't solve it!

whew, wish I had such simple problems... Right now I'm stressing that the 2 shocks in my backpack make it onto the airplane, and that the frame in my suitcase isn't confiscated, or the other frame and 4 wheels and all assorted parts for two bikes doesn't get destroyed by the baggage munkers. I've got 360 saved up so far, and the airlines will probably charge $200 for changing the date on the ticket, and who knows how much they will want to charge for the bike. The damn suitcase with the DH frame and all tools, clothes, armor, etc weighs about 25 midget, which is basically 10 midget over the limit. If they want to charge... I won't have enough gas money to even leave my house without hitchhiking...
*fingers crossed...
but back to the brake pads.
we've all been there.
brake pads.
mounting new intense tires on wheels in the hotel room the night before a race.
getting that STUPID SHIFTER CABLE to go through the shifter and housing and derailluer without fraying that one strand.
all forgotten though about two wheel revolutions into the run.

we have all been there done that man. best way to deal with it is take a 10 min breather and just chillax. then stick your nose right back into it and that hopefully will solve it and you will be under way man. if that doesnt cure it another breather quick phone call and get one of your shop rat buds over there to help lol. good luck to ya man hope it all works out.
Clean out your PMs, ya n00bdhbuilder said:
ho!!!!
Make sure you are taking out the clip that goes in the other side of the caliper.... I've forgotten to do that and it is very hard that way. I always do enjoy hitting my head against the wall.
