All good advice. Besides which a kinked brake wire, transverse cable set excessively +/- 90 degrees, steel rims, reach-adjust levers set close, old dried pads or oil contaminated pads or many other foibles or oversights could affect this. -- Andrew Muzi <www.yellowjersey.org/> Open every day since 1 April, 1971 ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

You may be able to move the lever all the way as you're squishing the brake shoes craploads before they grab as they're new. Get the glaze/ mold release off them with some sand paper or a small box plane. Should grab a lot better. |

And there are small details besides but not 'serious' ones. As you know, braking is primarily about swept area rather than puck size and even 1/2 pad contact should skid that wheel. -- Andrew Muzi <www.yellowjersey.org/> Open every day since 1 April, 1971 ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

As you know, braking is primarily about swept area typical r.b.t. misunderstanding - it's not that simple. imagine a pad of standard width but only 1mm long - same swept area, negligible braking capability. > rather than > puck size and even 1/2 pad contact should skid that wheel. nope, try it. especially on new pads. and the op's not getting 10% contact, let alone 50%. |

Try using no toe in and tighten the cable as much as possible with out the pads touching the rim. If you lubricated the chain with some teflon spray, you might accidentially have sprayed some of it on the rim. If so, clean rim and brake pads with some kind of solvent. Tomas |

Before resetting the brake pads further away from the arms I removed them from the brake arms all together and inspected their faces for evidence of rim contact. From my inspection it appears that all parts of both faces were making contact with the rim. I'm confident the increased MA and not more effective pad/rim contact is the difference I'm experiencing.
