Car Free Friday / Bike Mechanics Onhand? / Brake Adjustment

Hi all, Does anyone know if there will be bike mechanics onhand Friday. I know in the past there were, not sure about last year though. I think my bike needs a slight spoke/brake adjustment. The rear brake is either too tight and rubs because the wheel is very slightly imperfect or too loose and not enough stopping power for Sycamore. Thanks in advance

Hi Dan, There will be a mechanic at the CMU stop but they will most likely only have the tools for emergency repairs. If you need a brake adjustment I'd recommend that you go to a bike shop where they will have the tools and knowledge to fix the brakes and any other problems that might be causing the issue. Brakes are definitely something to get checked out!
