Re: [RBW] Re: tektro 559 left-right adjustment screw

[George Schick]

LOL, indeed!  Shimano SP brakes have a small notch on the brake arm closest 
to the fork crown so you can center it before tightening the brake mounting 
bolt.  Looking at the Tektro brakes on one of my bikes, it has no such mark 
- so you have to clamp the brake arms together to get them as close as 
possible to even before tightening.  That adjustment set screw is just 
there for minor tweaks in the final adjustments.  Sounds like the brakes on 
that bike were mounted and tightened way too unevenly before any set screw 
adjustment was done.

 Not sure what you need but I may have one from a parts pair of brakes.  
 Take a picture and I'll see if I have the part and will send it to you.

Hm.. Actually, I just discovered that I hadn't lost the screw after all.
It's just all the way in!

Not sure what you need but I may have one from a parts pair of brakes.  
Take a picture and I'll see if I have the part and will send it to you.

I would think that any well stocked hardware store would carry set screws 
like that.
