Kieran Morrison Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Okay, so i noticed just after xmas that one of my pads are truely screwed. It has been caused by my cylinder moving to the side. I did NOT set it up like this before xmas. The bolts are as tight as you could get them so i dont know how it moved. when i started riding properly in february, I noticed that my friend with the same claps has problems, where everytime he does a gap the cylinder moves. We both tightened it so tight that it seemed impossible to move. But it still moved after few gaps. Then another mate with these clamps is having major problems; the cylinders actually move if you wiggle them, the dont move in and out; just side to side. Ever since i got my TR clamps, both sets of pads i have have done the same thing, worn at the same angle. Im thinking it must be the clamps. Is anybody else having problems with these clamps?

LukasMcNeal Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 My set are fine, also you say they wear at the same angle. You need to file the mounts flat or they will wear uneven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean the cylinder has actually turned quite a bit from where i set it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 You've probably bent them making them mis-shaped.Get a pic of the set up, the clamps and the pads themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Bolts could be bottomed out in the holes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Have you considered the bolts may be too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
