Mr Motivator Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Was standing with my bike today and heard a ping. Looked down to find the contents of my avid disk calliper on the floor and I think I've lost some bits. Has anyone got a calliper they want to sell? Dont need rotor or mounting bracket so whether its a 160, 180 or 203 it doesnt matter, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I just put it back together minus a few parts and it doesnt work obviously. BUT!! I have found out something that will be a great help to all you people with avids.. It all flew apart because of one little nut that had come loose underneath the outside red adjuster knob and after playing with it, I reallized that if you keep playing with the knob, the little nut comes undone quite easily. Soooo, every now and again, flip off the outside red knob with a screw driver and tighen the 11mm nut :blink: Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
