So last Saturday I got my tires changed. On Monday I bring the bike into work. Seems to work fine on the way in and back from the shop. When I go to leave, the speedomotor and odometer are both not working and the FI light comes on. Some quick googling showed me something about a speed sensor and replacing that would fix the issue. Well, that's what warranties are for. Since it's still rideable, I ride it into work today....
And I feel something wierd in the back brake pedal and how the bike is handling. No loss of fluid, pad seems fine (a little thin, but they told me that). Then I go to back the bike up and realize the back brake is dragging. Had to pump the brake pedal a bit and it seemed to let go so I could back it into a parking space at home. Sigh. Maybe when they put the wheel back on the bike there was a bit of an angle or something and it's causing the pad to hit a part of the rotor it wasn't hitting before? Maybe my wheel's been on crooked the whole time and the pad wore in at an angle and they put it in right causing the rub?
Either way, it's really REALLY frustrating when your bike is working perfectly fine, and you go in for routine maintenance, and all of a sudden &^$% starts breaking.
