clerictgm Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I forced my vees to feel smooth like maggie, but I can't set pads ideally parralel to the rim. On last 1/4 of the level travel (when ideally pads should not touch the rim) pads (or one of them) starts to touch the rim.

Luke Rainbird Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Tension off, set up pad. Holding the pads to the rim forces them to be flat, then pull the cable tight and pull the lever to where you want the magic to happen and tighten it all up. Tension up as little as required to keep central and get the feel you want. Lube up your inner and outer cables and be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but then, i dont think anyone truely understands him ) You need to adjust the tension screws appropiatly. tighten the screw on the side that touches the rim a tad, then try the brake. Keep doing this until they hit evenly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
