Front Brake Trouble.

Recommended Posts

Well noticed my brake was wobbly today switched to a new v brake adapter off ym old back v brake and was fine. went out riding for a few hours and now its wobbling again.

Took it out and looks to me as if its rounded on the attachment on the frame and the v adapter is just wobbling around.

I'm wondering how can i make it smaller? i was thinking put a nice amount of solder in and then drill a hole with a drill bit a little smaller than the bolt, then screw it in and make a new thread in the soft solder but not sure if it would hold.

Any help?

Maybe you could try and explain a bit more clearly where the problem is. Is it the brake caliper that is wobbling, or the 4-bolt to vee adapter?

Which part is it that you think is 'rounded'? Do you mean threads stripped or a bolt head rounded off?

Ah, i thought you had v brake mounts.

If the bolt bit doesn't work, get some kind of rod (to hold it straight n stuff, maybe just use the original bolt) in there and put a jubilee clip around it, jubilee clips fix everything.

EDIT: f**k, you use adapters don't you, damn it, it'll probably get in the way.
