cai Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Are the 'little ends of the spring' actually in the mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cristoff Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Have you racked up the tention on the tension bolts? Lever a bit 'stiff'? bend the springs out a bit Edited June 15, 2008 by El Cristoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think he means if the tension is to high, when you pull the lever it can bend the springs inwards. So it won't spring back out again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 he means bend the springs outwards so the springs are more springy, so unclip them push down on them abit then put em back on and they will give lots more tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get hold of some Deore springs, you'll have a very nice brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Harding Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 try lube the cable sometimes that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) have you tried to turn on the spring adjuster bolts? EDIT: Missunderstood your problem..lol Edited June 16, 2008 by Skorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 The threads for my spring adjuster bolts stripped so quickly, well, the block they sit in did, and just fell apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 mine felt crap. All I did was move the adaptor onto the next hole... By that I mean the actual adaptor on the frame. If yours is on the last hole. change the brake to it sits further out. I know what Im trying to say,. but you may not understand! lol!!!
