Hi all I have a question regarding bending of ultegra calipers.
I have a set and the pads are skewed. Particuarly the rear where one
pad has about a 1.5mm toe out. There is no provision for toe
adjustment, I see that newer models have them. My question is how
dangerous or structurally compromising would it be to attempt to
correct them with an adjustable wrench. Park tools says It is pretty
risky unless they are really cheap thin callipers, which they are not,
snapping the calliper is a distict possiblity. Other sources say
that this is fine and even routinely done. Has anyone ever tried this
and had a worst case scenario?
