  • You did the install with the brake "arm" locked an then eliminate the slack through the adjustment as per instructions? There shouldn't be that much adjustment needed.
    I use pliers to get a good grip on the brake cable and pull it as toight as I can.
    Lemme grab them instructions from the interwebz

  • Hey thanks for this (and the pdf etc). Yeah I followed the instructions pretty closely, including clamping the cable with the brake arm locked. Good shout with the pliers, I’ll give that a go. What levers are you using? I found some posts elsewhere saying that having lots of lever throw can be a thing with these callipers (and that Shimano levers can work better as they pull more cable)

  • SRAM S500 and avid flat bar.
    Both are braking well.
    I did add an inline cable adjuster though too. Cable discs are finicky and that gives me at least double the adjustment range.
