TheMunn Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Maybe the TPA is fully wound out, you should try un-winding it and setting your brake up again, then see if your TPA still work's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 If you're running two Maguras, piss the other one off by changing it when you changed your raped one. It's going to happen, so you might as well pre-empt it. Plus, I've got more movement now with mine due to the longer bolt, so I can be nicely lazy setting up, even though I still spend a while every Saturday making sure it's all rockin' \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I wouldn't have thought it'd be have stopped the TPA moving though? It'd just make the brake feel ultra mushy, as opposed to shearing the TPA bolt, which is what sounds as if it's happened (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 If the bolt has sheared, you'll be able to move it away from the sheared section of bolt remaining inside the lever body itself, but when you try and tighten it up, it'll not be able to move it, thus stopping it moving.
