Was extremely frustated with my brakes rubbing one side. I managed to true them so i barely see any wobble....proud of myself actually!

Then i realized this problem

Im preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty sure i did this in the past while trying to stop them from leaning....they wouldnt move no matter what, so i thought what the hell? lets screw it allllllllll the way in:notamused:

Luckily my multi tool has had one small enough to fit in the hole, it was slightly bent from the screw pushing past the tension rod, now its fine:) and my brakes dont lean!
