Hi all,

I recently had my Domane in for the first checkup, and since then the rear brake will move such that the left shoe drags on the rim. I have moved it back to center, but the problem resurfaces. I finished the last ride by loosening the cable and creating more distance between rim and pad, but this is obviously not optimal. Is this a tension problem? I don't have a torque wrench, and am hesitant to simply tighten down the bolt (the one on the side opposite the brake) for fear of damaging the frame. Am I on the right track, or is there a part of the process I am missing.

Yes, I can take it back to the shop, but am somewhat hesitant, given the brake worked fine before the "adjustment".

Tighten the brake calipers mounting nut until the caliper will maintain it position. Use of that "centering bolt should not be needed and it won't keep the caliper from pivoting off center if the recessed mounting nut is too loose.
