Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Dura Ace 7800 Brake Caliper Question

I have the DA 7800 brakes and the front brake caliper is tilted to the right as to where the right brake pad is touching my wheel and I can not - for the life of me - move it back to center where it's not touching anymore. This has to be an easy fix but I don't have the answer.

Please help? Thank you!

Loosen the allen nut on the back of your fork, center the caliper, and tighten the nut. Now, look for the small allen head screw on the top of the caliper - this is used for fine centering adjustment.
