It is odd, but I love the spring design. I managed to get it back together. It was actually pretty easy. I was expecting to have to get a new caliper just because I couldn't get this one back together. The screws for the cover are long enough that I didn't need to push the cover much to get the screws to bite. The hardest part was reloading the springs. I have no idea how I did it. I can't even tell where it happens. At first it was reloading in the wrong spot, so I decided I was gonna start in one spot and keep adjusting until it was right, but the spot I started at was the right spot. Its working like it was before. The same tension and everything. I would love to know how it works. I guess I'll have to find a physics or engineering forum and ask there.

I have it all put back together. I'll have see how it works tomorrow. One design change I made was I put a piece of metal between the brake pad on the arm side and the magnet that holds it because when you pulled the arm all the way back(before I put the caliper back on the bike), the distance between the pads was about half a mm less than the thickness of the disc. Which means the arm uses 95% of its track before the pads start to grab the disc. There's about 2mm of resin or whatever you call it on the pad, so I don't think that's the problem. But I guess it's possible that even though it looks like there's plenty of pad left, a significant amount of it has been used up. How thick is the resin on a brand new pad?
