Thats what Ive done. Never touched the TPA. Cant unwind its-self then, and your brake will feel fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just undo it completely and set the pads up in such a way so that you needn't use the TPA. Got the same problem on my SL brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
