Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    You probably already know - but just in case. There is a small black lever on the brake calipers which can be toggled to two different positions. One of those positions "opens" the brakes so that the wheel can be changed - otherwise the pads would not fit around an inflated tyre. You might as well just check it is in the closed position and not the open position, unless you have already.

    The brakes OK, thanks though. Starting to think it's my weak hands/forearms :(

    There's a few options.
    • Practice as is: you'll eventually get used to it.
    • Lessen the brake tension: it'll be easier to pull, but less braking power.
    • Shims: you can add some shims which move the regular brake lever position. Ask your LBS or google for more info. This is what I'd be looking at first.
    • Change to short reach setup: most expensive. Look for specific short reach levels. You could also try regular at SRAM or Campy levers, both shorter reach than regular Shimano.

    That's really great advice, I really appreciate the response. I'll give it a week before I start looking at making alterations. Hopefully I just grow into it. Thanks again
