Hi guys, ive got a bit of a set up issue with my rear brake on my plug ( heavy mondeo)
ive set it up god knows how many times, pads flat, angled, toed in/out and still its utter pap, it wasnt such an issue when i was running fixed but im ss now as most of the time im with my mate with one leg n all the stop start was just a ballache fixed with clips
ive messed with the cable, the adjusters, pads, all bolts and got it seriously tight to the frame, it still slips tho and there is no power, even with the adjusters all out so its on as soon as i touch the lever it still has no power
im getting really frustrated with it now, im not sure if its cable stretch or moving, does it need more guides/zipties to keep it tight to the frame all the way down or is it the caliper
any ideas, help, knowledge would be gratefully recieved
its a dual pull tektro btw
cheers in advance
