Anatiferous blog | Move every zig.

Howdy! This is my (William Reading's) webpage. At the moment, I only have this blog script and my gallery up, but I hope to get more stuff on this page at some point, or so I thought when I created this site years ago. Updates and shiny new copy to eventually go here. If you'd like to contact me to point out that I've done something to break XHTML/CSS standards or heaven forbid--look at my Vita--drop me a line at my e-mail address bill +spam @ [ELEPHANT] aggienerds.org. Simply remove "+spam", the spaces and the pachyderm along with its brackets and that address will reach me. I'm also available on Jabber/GChat/AIM/MSN with the same address above.

I’ve been noticing as of lately that it’s been a bit harder to brake on my bike, but it wasn’t until today that I actually took a look at the pads on my bike. I was surprised at the results:

The front brakes, at least, were apparently worn down enough to where I’d probably be running metal against the rims to stop. The backs were a bit worn down as well, though it appears as if one of them was installed incorrectly. Now it’s granted that I’ve been riding around a lot, I don’t think that’s the kind of damage that you’d expect to see on a bike that’s only a month or so old. I picked up a set of new brakes from the bike shop for $8, so I hope that this is just a fluke.
