Success – I got the pads adjusted properly. One of the pads was missing one of the pieces that lets you adjust the angle, so that’s why I couldn’t get it right. But now my bike stops quietly and I’m happy.
Can be found cheaper on the ‘bay. I’m planning to swap my folding bike’s front brake to one of these. I used to have mini-Vs then I stole those for another build and then switched to regular Vs I stole off a bike I converted to disc. Stopping power right now is good but due to cable pull there’s very little modulation and not much room for adjustment.
