Title: Silly question time again
Post by: southern andy on April 22, 2008, 01:36 PM

Fitted my Dia Compe MX 900 last night, all works nicely but what the hell does the Weinmann semi automatic adjuster actually do ??????????

Is there an actual purpose for it.  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

It adjusts the gap on the caliper arms to the rims.

Pinch in the caliper with your fingers too at the brake pads while your turning it, if it's stiff the plastic isn't that sturdy and the metal teeth will damage it quite easily
