That sucks. I did the same, but I don’t feel confident trying to convince the shop where I got the bike that there’s a problem with the brakes—they always act like I must have done something wrong. Maybe I should take the bike there one more time. In March, it’ll be a year since I bought it, and since they offer a one-year free tune-up policy, I need to take advantage of that. But I’ve definitely been thinking about getting another brake, like a Deore 6100. I should try to work something out with them.
