To add to what Joe said, you may also have the arms mounted in mismatched holes. If that is the case, no amount of tension adjustment with the screws will overcome that tension difference. Darin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Tully, do your canti mounts have the 3 holes for anchoring the springs? I'm thinking you're getting enough drag on the cable through the bends under the tape and at the rear loop that the springs aren't overcoming it enough. Maybe you can mount the rear springs to have more tension, then start

Tully: There should be an adjustment on the brakes to align them. On the Tektro Oryx cantis on my QB, there’s a little Allen fitting: You’ll probably need to adjust both sides to get the brakes centered around the rim. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) >
