2 Updates in one weekend?!

Wow what a treat 2 updates in the same weekend. One might wonder what’s going on. Well it is Memorial Day weekend so first off, thanks to all those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice, thanks to all those who served before me, served with me and those who are currently serving.

That was part of the problem with the soft brakes. After looking at it and finally taking it apart I realized I had made a $250 mistake....
