Hey guys

Ridden my new terrago disc only about 5 miles till now.
Ive noticed a scraping sound coming from the rear disc. looking closer, one of the pads is stuck up against the disc, even when there is no pressure applied to the brake lever. i am not mechanically minded, and being new to mtbing, do not recognise much of the slang..any ideas or shall i take it back to the dealer??

And secondly, when i change onto the third cog for gears 18 to 27, i get a clunking sound for the remaining seven gears as if the chain hasnt fully allignred to the cog...again, any help please much appreciated...cheers..daz.

  • PLEASE ANSWER, IM STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • You're not mechanically minded, return to dealer. They should fix it no questions asked. But start reading park tools repair guides and sheldon brown that way you should be able to fix most of your problems, bike maintenance is a gremlin we all have to live with, but there is lots of information out there if you know where to look.

    Always remember to pick your Uni according to the local trails or you'll be stuck with nowhere to ride for three years!
