Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.

resolvedCan anyone recommend me to a video or other guide for loosening calliper brakes.
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.
But I dunno how to do that...
Thanks!

You may have to release the cable a little to allow the calliper to open a bit further? 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.
Cheers

Colin probably has the answer.
This should help -

Thanks Colin and chdot.
Releasing the cable was definitely a step in the right direction.
Will try to follow the steps in the CW guide...
