Tony Harrison Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 A bleed would probably help. Plus facing the disk mount is always a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 to get the pads further in - take the wheel out and pull the lever abit which moves the pads in (keep doing this and the pads will lock together) then put the wheel in and maybe readjust the caliper position. Hey presto brake comes on further out. I know this shouldnt work and it should adjust itself out again but on my mono this worked a treat.Also you can move the lever out by turning the little bolt on the inside of the lever.... this has the same effect but it does move the lever further away ... do it if you have big hands......

Technical Tom Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Or you could just turn the TPA scew which is in the lever, then just keep pumping the lever.Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Find a big hill, and some water (not a hose pipe... Naughty naughty!), ride down it with the brake on and quench the rotor. Do this a few times and you should have a working brake.Also, take the inner cages of your pedels out.

philking Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Or you could just turn the TPA scew which is in the lever, then just keep pumping the lever.Tom.Oh my god! How many times?! That isn't a TPA - it adjusts the lever position (i.e. nearer to or further from the bar). This feels like it has the same effect because the lever always travels the same distance.Imagine if your lever is set up so there is 5cm between it and the bar. When you pull the lever it moves 2cm (for example) untill it locks thus meaning it is traveling 40% of the distance to the bar. If you then adjust the lever further out so it is positioned 6cm away from the bar when not pulled, it still travels 2cm, but now the (same) 2cm is only 30% of the total distance to the bar. So it does lock up further away from the bar, but it still moves the same amount.It is therefore NOT a TPA, but a REACH adjusted....Thank you, Goodnight!(Oh by the way, if you are refering to something else and you are right i am sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Tom Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Well on my mono mini if the lever keep pulling back too far than normal you just turn the bolt so the the reach of the lever goes further out, therefore when the brake bites it's further out. Just realised i don't now what im on about But that works for me I now what im saying lol.Tom. Edited April 21, 2006 by onza_tom123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
