U Brakes ,MTB, What is the trick to installing pads????
What is the trick to getting the pads positioned correctly on U
brakes? Centered on sidewall of rim and toed in properly. This is a late 80's MTB . Is there some little trick to working with these monsters? I have worked on lots of bike brakes. V's , canti's, calipers, but these are the absolute worst design for brakes I have run into. I hope they operate well to make up for the hassle of maintenance. Thanks |

I've never had any problem setting up the brake pads on my U brake ('87 Wicked Fat Chance). Pretty straightforward. Lee |
