Would You Believe It?

It's been a long day, up in Birmingham, for the car club's committee meeting. And with the rear wheel bearing making more and more noise, I'm glad to be home.

On the way back, literally minutes from the front door, the handbrake stopped working. In fact, it felt like the brake cables had given way. Imagine, then, my surprise, to find that the nut holding the cable to the handbrake lever, had worked loose.

Needless to say, last time I'd adjusted the brakes I left the locking nut off. Don't ask why, but I did. But I'd never have thought it would work loose like it has. Five minutes and all back together again, and I have to say the brakes feel much better. Which isn't exactly surprising, now, is it!
