Greetings Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yes, it's normal for this to happen. The piston diameter is so large in the caliper that the mechanical advantage causes the caliper to bend when braking hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah, every one I've seen has done it, as said above, mechanical advantage and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 It's why Mono Trials are squidgy even when you do a good bleed.Perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
