Possibly via an Allen bolt clamp, or it may be possible by screwing the adjuster on top of the clamp all the way in. Hope this helps.</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Colin </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20196#post-328691 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 19:06:06 +0000 MrSRD 328691@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can anyone recommend me to a video or other guide for loosening calliper brakes.</p> <p>Changed the pads on my Tiagra calliper brakes, and am having problems with the front calliper. Probably about 30pc is my fault/incompetence, but the real issue is the replacement pads are 'thicker' and so the calliper needs to be adjusted accordingly.</p> <p>But I dunno how to do that...</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
