Default Re: Angle of Brake Arms

When you get the front brakes apart i think you will see that Mike is correct.

With the original operating wedge and operating pin the cam on the actuating arm will not even begin to move the operating pin until the lever is near 15° or even vertical...

The "pills" that fit into the wedge help you set this angle by effectively adding length to the operating pin
