YABicycleT> How does one switch brakes?

[The Stigenator]

I have a cheapo bicycle that I want to start putting some miles on. Since i bought it I havent ridden it much. It sits in my parents garage and once in a while i fill up the tyres with air and I spray WD40 over the gearing systems.

One of the reasons I dont ride it is because i get confused by the brakes. How easy is it to switch it from L-Front to R-Front and vice versa. Right now the left brake is front and right brake is rear, but i want to switch it.

How easy is it, and what am I supposed to do? I see the lock nut but how do i do it? some instructions would help.

The bike retailed for 180+ Its a Glacier Point by Magna I believe. Its light enough for my needs and seems well built. I am quite an abuser of bicycles in my past so im glad this thing is strong. I will take the bike with me to CSUS when i move up north (yes the motorcycle is also going with me).

Just move the cables around if it's that big of a deal.

I think you would be able to get used to it in a few minutes of riding though.

nah not really .. i have ridden it enough times and yet I still hit teh back brake thinking its teh front brake.. its easier on me to just keep it like the "Worldwide" standard.. i hate teh american standard.

I was actually thinking of the same thing... but i thought the guy at the shop was going to look at me all weird if i asked him... ...i might just do it one of these days... oh well... good luck.
