thats it lee, then either blow the dust of or prefrbly clean with some brake cleaner, if your feeling confident can try adjuting them too but if the footbake is fine may be pointless. hammer maybe you should invest in a rear disc set up?

The missus has got it, I'm going to get something else

I could live with it tbh, being manly and having massive biceps like Steve, but she couldn't and moaned the face off me 'til it got fixed.
