tdubz Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 recently built up a new frame put maggy on as per instructions of tartybikes.com how to video brake bite amazing rode it all day today and found that one of the cylinders (the right to be exact) has pushed itself outwards away from the rim. this was to be expected kinda because of the power of the brake..... tightened it up as much as i dare due to fears of stripping four bolt threads, rode for another couple of hours.... same problem again do i just whack it up really tight but very fearful of stripppin threads any help or solutions greatly appreciated on how to solve this thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Grease on the threads would be handy if you've not got it on already. If you're using a pair of clamps that require cylinder washers, may be worth getting some new washers if yours are getting on a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Best solution I can think of is........ Get some Vees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdubz Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 yeah got some grease on the threads mark should you be able to go very tight if you have??? not sure about the age of the cylinder rings could be worth a look into also thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Basically all the above, and if that still doesnt work, file a bit off those little nubs on the bottom of the mount where they compress together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
