I'm putting my brakes together and I can't get them to line up with my wheel (which is centered.)
Need to know what to adjust to make them work again and stop rubbing.

Probably the little springs that you wind before you tighten the bolts that hold them on.

Yes. Furthermore, there is a possibility your wheel is untrue? In which it may appear centered at times and rub other times.

Or maybe you need to pull the cable through more on one side

Take them off.

eightdip

Naaa, thats for pros and people who break their legs

Racist. There are so many people on crutches in my school. It's so crazy. But I was the first. The sad thing is, I'm still on crutches. Although the good thing is, is that I can put a little bit of pressure on my leg now. Yay.

eightdip

Swell, how long you got now?

Chris Gabriel

Alright...I forgot to tighten the springs on one side...they are a little squeaky but they work now.

FitRider 921

Ummmm... I have to go back to the doctor in another 6 weeks, and then hopefully he will put me on full weight bearing and then it shouldn't be too much longer after that. I'm doing rather well with rehab too, and now it should only go faster because I'm a workout freak and can finally do stuff with my leg. It shouldn't be too long, unless I blow myself up.

eightdip

But your mum isn't gonna let you ride am i right?

FitRider 921

She's going to have to deal with it. My dad already decided that I can ride, but I just have to be "more careful". My dad knows how much it means to me and he will fight for me.

If you get them dialed in...you'll be good. Also, then they make a great trueing stand when your wheel needs it.

eightdip

I use a brake for trueing, i dont have a front brake so if i ever buckle it, it'll be hard to sort

mude

do it. you wont.

FitRider 921

If you think so.
