Received CFO approval to order PMB rear calipers on the 17th! Everything about them seems top notch. Anyone else used them? If so what was your impression?
Currently the emergency brake does not work. The handle is operational and the cables seem to move the levers on the calipers. Tried adjusting the pads but the adjusters seem to not move the pads at all. So I am convinced that the problem is in the caliper. Of course, every time I am convinced I am right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) So I thought I would ask if there was something else I was missing or should anticipate replacing with the calipers. |

Make sure you have or can get the little pin and "C" clip that connects the end of the brake cable to the lever. I found a C clip at local hardware; 5/16" if I recall. Brake bleeder valves, rubber caps, pads with pins and springs ...
