revised rear brake mount
mike
the rear side of the monoseat stay brake mount. I remounted the brake
and went out for a ride. After the hills I stopped at one of the
final lights and felt a little release of the rear brake. I thought
the cable had slipped. I just relied on the front and rode cautiously
home the last mile.
When I checked the brake I found the cable secure, but one of the
brake pads ejected.
So, I reversed the pad holders and had some koolstop for carbon brake
pads which I installed. Good idea to do this step during the swithch
process.
It is a clean look for those of you whose bikes were in the early
build and it reduces contact with seat bags.

of an inch too high! So even with the brake pads set as low as
possible they would rub on the sidewall of the tire. My LBS guy
turned the brake around to the front of the rear wheel and it works
great. I am using the yellow swiss stop pads and they are
incredible. Will grab my carbon rims like none other I have tried.

I hope your dealer switched the pad holders. A quick look will let
you know. I fortunately found out I did it incorrectly when my life
wasn't dependant on a rear brake...That was part of the reason for my
post.

| Oh got you, the pads will shoot out the back of the holders won't they. My LBS guy is an old racer, knows that trick. In. He didn't switch them, he like to use Elmers glue for everything including securing the pads in the holders. Thanks for the heads up though Ward --- On Tue, 3/16/10, mike <mikea...@aol.com> wrote: |
