I got a btwin rockrider today. I checked the reviews and they where all good.

im just wondering what the bike community think of the bike?

also the pads rub together very slightly once every roations if you get what i mean. How can i make them free flowing and sharp.

also the rear gear cable could do with replaces it chages gears but its on its last legs. how much wil it cost to replace.

    A few pounds and 5 minutes. Presumably not new.
    Read Parktools for how to.

    How do the pads rub together with a disc in between?

    A cable is a few quid tops, and changing it will take about 10 minutes, how do you know it is on it's last legs?

      Sounds like it could be from the disc/pads, you rarely get a grinding noise from the bearings unless they are so far gone the wheel won't even stay straight.

      Remove the calliper from the fork leg and see if the noise goes away.

      I'd take down you number and offer to share via PM!
