    Hi Folks

    Could you tell me the procedure for taking out the old brake pads. I have had a look and I cannot
    seem to get proper access to the nut holding the brake pad, on the other side of the nut I have seen
    what might be a Alan key hole am I supposed to use an Alan key to release the brake pad. Or am I
    supposed to loosen other components of the brake system to be able to gain proper access to the
    brake pad nut. Or is this one of things you just take it to a bike shop and say here are the pads
    could you replace the old ones. TIA

    Yours Chris

    But that doesn't tell us its origins. However <http://www.quinion.com/words/qa/qa-shu1.htm> gives a
    theory. (For those who CBA to click, it is suggested "shufti" was originally an Arabic word that got
    into English from military servicemen stationed in Arabic speaking countries.
