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.

This is common with restored rear calipers. I had the same issue with mine. Nothing wrong with the mechanism, it just needs to be loosened up.

Check out my thread for answers.

BTW, PMB is the tops. Eric is awesome to work with and helped me through several non-PMB related hub/brake issues.
