Stevie Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I noticed my right cylinder was tilted to one side a little, i must of been like this for a while because my pads have worn in a strange way.So i loosened the brackets and made sure the big washer that goes round the cylinder was straight and tightened them up, to noticed after 15mins of riding they've moved back to pretty much the exact same position as before.I'm confused Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Do the bolts up tighter?I tried that, i tightened them up as far as they will possibly go without stripping the threads in the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale-Hill Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) You might have striped them. Edited August 2, 2009 by Dale-Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) You might have striped them.I definatly havn't stripped them, they still tighten up properly i just don't wanna over tighten them but they still seem tight enough to hold as the left cylinder is not moving in it's mount.

PaRtZ Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 ould try longer bolts shorter bolts surely? longer bolts are more likely to bottom out but the only diference a longer bolt will make is the amount of thread its in contact with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Twist the plastic washer round a little bit and re set them up. Should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scary_jeff Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 The plastic bushing might have become deformed due to being tightened in the wrong allignment with the calliper, or it might not be properly seated in the mounts (that's the problem i had).

Its easy to happen since the washer is only plastic and the mounts and the cylinder are metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
