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

TRP 920 Brakes - How do you adjust the toe?

The TRP website is useless. I just got a set of these from a member on another forum who took them off a build. The rear brakes need toe adjustment and according to the site these have angle adjustable brake pads. I tinkered with them a bit but can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone help me out? FWIW, I'm far from mechanically inclined so this is actually challenging for me.

Thanks

rob

Usually the mounting washers are conical and allow some angle adjustment. Loosen the pad mounting bolt.

I like to set the pads up with zero toe. aligned and dead flat on the rim. Then clamp a business card under the pad's leading (rear of the bike) edge by holding the brake on with one hand.
Loosen the pad mount bolt, let the pad toe in, and retighten. That'll give it just a little toe without disturbing the setting in the other directions.
