    The English teachers are going to rip your post apart.

    Does the caliper not just need aligning with the rotor better? Is the rotor bent? Blazing Saddles have never been anything but brilliant for me so may be worth trying again?

    Don’t forget the bloke opposite Morrisons. Think he fixes bikes as a kind of community service, always very inexpensive.

    They messed up your brakes and you didn’t discover until months afterwards? That’ll definitely be their fault then :S

    Sounds like maybe the brakes just need re aligning? Loosen off the bolts that attach the caliper to the adaptor, squeeze the brake then re-tighten the bolts. Might need to do this a few times for it to work, Avids can be fussy.
