Hi,
I'm having a heck of a time adjusting my single pivot campy brakes. I have done a search on the forum for single pivot brakes and I'm not sure I understand the required adjustment.
My problems are:
1. One caliper arm doesn't really move while the other does
2. After I "center" the brake and tighten the bolt, when I engage the brake, the brake goes out of center again with the arm that doesn't move back dragging on the rim.
I have taken the following steps to correct this problem:
Center the brake and *really* tighten the bolt.
Lube the spring contacts, lube the caliper where it pivots
I have done an internet search and found this:
Jobst Brandt explanation
I am not quite sure that I understand exactly what should be lubed here but I think I've done it with no change.
Anyone have any more advice?
Thanks to all.
