side pull brake set-up tips
brakes: 'modolo america' side pull
the problem i have on the front brake is that after i set-up the brake shoes to be equidistant from the rim, after one application one shoe stays closer to the rim than the other. on further application i notice that the closer shoe hardly moves when i pull on the lever, while the other shoe moves twice as far. even if i tighten up the mounting bolt on the back as tight as possible i still get the same problem. i don't think the serated brake mount surface is gripping too well on the chromed fork, but what to do? put some tape underneath for it to grip on? i suspect this has something to do with the cable tension pulling or pushing the whole brake up or down, but am unsure as to how to equalize the tension. any tips from the old pros? thanks, mark |
