Picture of bike showing parts...
Hi, I put on january a picture, can you help me to find it Thanks... --Gengiskanhg 23:42, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi, that image was probably added before the page was moved from WIKIPEDIA.  This history only starts on the beginning of January 2005.    If you know some part of the name of the image it might be found in MAYFLOWER IMAGE SEARCH.   Armchair (talk) 20:00, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Other brake problem causes
Please leave a note here if you know of other brake problems that may be of interest for the page.

Alternatively, add a section.

Simplicity
The page starts with "The brakes on bicycles are simple to adjust.", which already made me laugh. Then a couple paragraphs later:


 * Bear in mind that the best way to learn the adjustment of brakes is to be shown by somebody while it is being done; in this way much of the mystery vanishes.
 * The next best way is to follow a fairly stolid description of the sort below, which will get the job done with a little perseverance.

I see a certain contradiction in the lead. I would remove the first sentence. --Chealer (discuss • contribs) 01:15, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Whereas you say that you would remove a sentence, I also note that you did not! So pleased that my efforts amuse you - a little more effort and a bit less idle commentary would serve you and the writing community better!Armchair (discuss • contribs) 08:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Noodle
Super page. The pipe marked "cable guide" is a noodle, and the rubber item marked "noodle" is actually a boot


 * Correct. I've edited the page, though I note that my edit is awaiting review. I made a similar correction to Cables and Housings (also awaiting review). Geordiecoder (discuss • contribs) 13:40, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
