Customer Questions
Q.
asked by: a guest
Bought a pair of these but the front brake is not able to open wide enough to get tire on and off. It hits the inside of the fork so I need to deflate the tire to install/remove. Is there anything I can do to adjust to get clearance? Installing on an older (2011 Jamis Coda Comp).

I believe the brake pads are set up with the thicker pad spacer to the inside. If you have not swapped it for the thinner one, that would be a starting point.

Outstanding brakes! I set them up on my cross bike with the narrow stance in the back & wide in the front. They were a bit of a pain to get on & get everything adjusted, but it's that adjustability that will make them that much sweeter than any other cross brake out there now that they're on. The spring tension adjustment is a stroke of genius. Great stopping power, especially with a set of Kool Stop salmon pads & Yokozuna cables. Worth every penny & the extra set up time.

This is the best purchase for my cross bike to date. Saved my bacon the other day on a downhill run that ended in a panic stop.
Pro/Con depending on your viewpoint. The calipers take some time to adjust, but they can be adjusted "perfectly."
