Mountain Bike Apollo
Broken mountain bike argghh?
Have a mountain bike but various things are wrong with it they are:
The mechanical disk brakes not hydralic dont give enough resistance when riding the bike they hardly grip atall, so need to fit v type brakes but theres no where to put the calipers and unit.
The brake cables the right is front wheel and the left is back wheel isnt it.
The pedal wont screw into the tapered hole of crank arm crank arm needs replacing this seems like total mission, as needcrank extractor the place wants almost as much to fix it as to buy it.
That is all that is wrong with it but they are major cant do much without them
What make should be looking for, if buy a new bike for dirt paths downhilling, trails etc as cant afford much
Not trax, or apollo.
In Scotland not America
Lubricating your brake cables and adjusting your brake calipers could go a long way toward improving your brakes, often new bikes with mechanical disc brakes suffer from poor assembly and brake cable routing. Your problem with your pedal( or is it your crank arm? the explanation is not very clear) requires a couple of special tools. Remember, once you buy a tool, you will also have it to use the next time you have to do repairs of maintenance, so even if it costs money this time, you save in the future, think long term.
