One day during the rainbow, I took my bike aside and decided to look at the breaks. Why had they broken? I took the breaks off and inspected the brake pads. That’d be it. They had completely disintegrated, both of them and was absolutely nothing left in them.
No problem, I have spares, so I'll replace them.
I didn’t have spares. I only had one half-used one left. But I really thought I had new ones. Nope. Okay, what to do?
No other option but to fit the half-worn one in the back, and keep the better of the two terribly warn pads in the front.
