dag3220 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 OK so I am having a little bit of trouble adjusting the brake pins on my Metanium. It seems they are really stiff and the only way to pop them loose is with pliers or a toothpick. Do any of you guys have this problem or a solution. I actually drew blood trying to get them loose.

Are you sure you don't have to slide them over. I have never experienced a Metanium but on a Curado I you simply slide the brake over til it clicks. No popping out is necessary. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 13, 2015 Super User Posted March 13, 2015 Metanium 13 pop up or hinge up. They do not slide over. They are stiff the first time use try to deploy them. You can use a stiff toothpick or wooden dowel if you can't get them to work with a finger tip. Quote
bootytrain Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Press inward or outward on the inner raised part of the brake block. Quote
dag3220 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Ya. Its still pretty new and brakes haven't been used much. I guess I will break them in a little using the toothpick which seems to work the best. I just couldn't believe that when I was testing it I could adjust them w/o tools which worried me. Hopefully they loosen up soon. Quote
jignfule Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Don't be too concern they do loosen up after a while. Quote
kschultz76 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Had them same difficulty with my Met. Hoping after a few on/off cycles they get easier. Of course since I set two on I haven't had to touch them. Quote
