Son of a Bitch. While I was getting my tires changed tonight, a new problem with my bike was brought to my attention. When the guy before me had it, his torque wrench was superman. The bolts that hold the calipers were super-tightened and the threads were fucked up. He said the best he could do was 280 per caliper.

That's what he was talking about for 280 a piece. I'll look into it more over the weekend when I have time.

I don't know enough to do it myself. If I did, then I wouldn't need to have someone else do it.
