  1. Hi,

    The bike I have (which arrived this morning) is a Jeep Comanche from
    the UK Argos catalogue:

    http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=1751&productId=83862

    I've never seen a disc brake before but when I
    looked at it (peering down from over the top of the handlebars) I
    could see the left hand pad but nothing of the right hand pad so that
    applying the brake looked as if it would catch the housing on the
    righthand side.

    I stuck an allen key behind the spokes to adjust the most obvious nut
    determining how far the righthand pad extrudes but it came out at an
    angle - so that when I applied the brakes it 'bent' the disc to the
    right (only slightly of course) and I dunno if this is normal!

    Don't know much at all really, which is why I would appreciate any
    advice - are there any web tutorials which might help?

    Regards,
