Avid juicy sevens remain tight against disc

Juicy's are prone to sticky pistons.REMOVE pads,clean calliper ,pull lever lightly and add a drop of hydraulic fluid to the edges of the pistons to lube.Recess pistons,wipe off excess fluid and fit pads.If this doesn't work they might need bled.

Avid Juicy five system leaking fluid

Your brake failed and you need to take it to a good bicycle repair shop in your area. Hydraulic brakes on bicycles are not easy to self service as you need specialized tools and the proper replacement parts.

Break avid juicy three stuck

There are some ways this can happen. If you accidentally apply pressure to that brake lever with the wheel removed you will have to gently force the pads apart with something that won't damage them and then bleed that brake. You will need a bleeding kit for that model as they are unfortunately mostly all different because of the fittings needed. The other problem is a sudden application of the brakes in an emergency will cause the seal in the brake lever in the piston to blow which requires part replacement and a brake bleed. If you want to attempt the repair yourself there is info at www.Parktool.com. In either case you will still have to go top a good bicycle repair shop for the necessary tools, parts,and supplies. Ask for brake wedges while you are there. They are fairly cheap plastic wedges that keep your pads the proper distance apart when you are transporting the bike with the wheels off. Hope this helps.

Brake is engaged on the disk at all times tried

You didn't say which model but it sounds like there is a blown seal in your brake lever. You'll have to get it serviced which will also require a brake bleed. Have them check both brakes while they are at it.

SHIFT and quote key doesn't type '' until you press another key.

This is some sort of setting in windows that allows you to easily make characters such as í é ê ë and so on by pressing the quote or hat key and then the letter (I think it only works for vowels)

I'm not sure how to fix this, but you can temporarily change this by pressing alt+shift. Alt+Shift will toggle between 3 different settings, 1 of them being the one that gives the problem you have and the other 2 seem to be normal. It will probably switch back when you restart the computer, there's probably a way to permanently set it to how you want but I don't know how.

So basically, if your keyboard is acting odd press Alt+Shift once or twice and it should return to normal. Also, this will only work if you use the left side alt and shift keys.

I have excess coconuts growing on my tree what do I do with it?

Hi CGI,

How about Milk crates, they're heavy duty enough to hold them.

You could probably sell them to a bar that has a tropical motif to use for drink specials. I lived near a Beach Bar in Florida that did that all the time.

Use you imagination.

Have fun,
Mike

I Have a 5speed Broadmoor mountian bike cannot

When you say adjust, do you mean shift or do you mean adjust? You should start with the easiest solution: give your drivetrain a really thorough bath by using Simple Green and a brush to clean it really well, then lubricate your chain with the proper chain lube. If the problem persists, e-mail me and i will give you a detailed description of how to adjust the drivetrain.

I have lost the pin that attaches my brake lever

You can get a nut and bolt with the same diameter from a hardware store to replace it. It will not be as pretty, but you can ride.

Hope,

How do i get the bearings out between the pedals

The two pedals are mounted on an axle bearing caps at both sides. Remove the pedals first by extracting the cylindrical pin & nut.Open the nuts and push the spindle out. Next loosen the ring tightener and then the base by rotating via the punch holes. Once you remove the bearings from that end will come out. Similarly do the other one. Now with the help of grease place the ball bearing inside the cup & tighten it............sodeep
