CZARKID Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 hey, when i apply the brake the pads push away from the wheel and leave me with a lever that i can touch the bar with. I'm using a hs33 with standard hose and clamps, adamant 4 bolt booster and zoo pads. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance tomo.

ogre Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 your clamps might not be tight enough? sounds like the slaves are sliding through the clamps? tighten the bolts more, otherwise, try bleeding your brake could be air in the hosing being squashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

control rob Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 hellolike the other i would say tighten up your clamps, rebleed, or buy a new booster? i bought the echo control booster and i didnt have any movement with my brake so i would recommend that, but it is quite big n heavy for a booster...rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZARKID Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 i can't get my clamps any tighter. so i'm going to put the cylinder washers of an old bike on to see if its any better with them on.tomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenJJ Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Might sound stupid but have you got the spacers on the bolts under the booster? That would explain the bolts bottoming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZARKID Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 yeh mate got the spacers on right i'll try sum shorter bolts would it be ok to cut them or should i just buy sum new ones??tomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 just grind them (is that the word?) like on the machine with a stone disk press against the bolt for a second or two dip it in water to cool it down but first i'd draw a line of how much you need to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Be very careful when cutting them though, the bolts will more than likely end up with damaged thread which can easily strip the threads in your frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
