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

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!
