No brakes!

I was complaining about how bad the brakes on my bike were. I was asked when the last time I changed the brake pads was.

Now, as far as I know, the brake pads on that bike have never been changed. I'm really not the one to say, though, since it's really not my bike. I'm just using it because it's my best option.

I decide it's worth a try to get new brake pads. It can't hurt anything, at least... unless my own incompetence gets the better of me... It's been known to happen.

Check out the old brakes, yo. Old one is on the left.





Yessir, those are some worn out brake pads. My guess is they're 20 years old.
