The front Tektro Aries manual brake on my RadExpand stopped working at the top of a hill, thankfully the motor inhibitor & rear brake was enough to bring me to a stop before I over-ran into the intersection at the bottom. The bike is 4 months old and I've put about 400 miles on the odo. I had earlier adjusted the caliper bolt to tighten the cable as it began to stretch, but now I wonder if the pads wore out (this is my first bike with disk brakes). I am unsure if the clicking sound is a problem with the brake cable sticking in the housing. After chatting with Rad I'm going to take it in to the shop I bought it from for repair as they're a Rad-authorized dealer so can work with them to authorize any warranty claim for parts & labor. Hopefully it will be a simple fix, while I wait I'm riding around on a lightweight Zizzo Liberte folding pedal bike.
