JT! Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Are the clips on the backs of the backings in good condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Check the wee tabs on the backing are ok where you press it onto the slave, if any are missing/munched that's your problem.You can buy new backings for like 20p or sumthin off rimjam.com last time I checked.

JT! Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 How much TPA ajustment do you have on, if your pads are really far out to start with, might be causing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) There about half a cm away from the rimAdam.Maybe try undoing the tpa more and setting them closer to the rim. ...by which i mean actually undo the mounts and move them physicly closer to the rim.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Dont tell us you use tar?????Cause if you do, your pads will be sticking to the rim, and just pulling themselves off of the clips... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Put a penny in between your rim and pad , undo the bolts and push the pads in so it touches the pennythen tighten it all up.Get the penny out and your brake is set up perfectley .Do it on both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
