  Ha , yes - correct ... I had it a million years ago - gave it to a friend who rides it all the time ...I service it occasionally and keep it going ... but it’s always an awkward bastard .... although I really enjoyed riding it around to block a few times on test drive .... rolls really well - bit to garish for me though
  Did see an old boy riding the racer version - same colour scheme - on Sunday ...

• Shimano mountain bike rear brake set up problem

  I m currently trying to set up a Shimano BR-M453 rear can ride brake .... which is situated under the chain stays for some unknown reason - just to make it a bastard to work on .. ? - and I cannot get the arms to stay sprung out .... there’s a 6mm Allen key with which to turn them but only a plastic cap which doesn’t seem to hold them ( away from the wheel under tension ) .... I am utterly flummoxed having not really paid any attention when dismantling them to give the bike a serious clean and service .....
  Has anyone had experience of these brakes and there set up .... ?
  Any ideas or knowledge most welcome .... two days in and numerous takings apart and I’m fed up ..... is it something dead simple I’m missing ... ?
