I had been taught to eye ball it in with a little toe to prevent squeal. I believe the reasons for the poor braking performance and feel was due to the rear pads not contacting the rim with full surface area. When closed, the padsshould contact the rim completely flat. When the brakes are open, theleading edge of the brake pads should be a bit closer to the rim. This is for front and rear brake setup.įig.5: Adjust the pad positions so that the pads contact the rim surface completely flat.„ With the brake lever squeezed, tighten the brake pad holder bolts to 55 in-lbf (6.2 Nm).„ With the brake levers still squeezed tight, thread the toe-in adjuster screws in until they touchthe pad holders, then turn the screws an additional 1/4 turn.

It is easy to Google the Vias manual online. Night and day difference with a much firmer and positive feel, almost the same feel as the fronts which felt good. I consulted the Specialized manual and followed their brake settings for the Vias. I never cared for the black pads and switched them out with yellow SwissStop. I set them up like many of my bikes by eyeball and experience. I wanted to get the bike together quickly to have a first ride and had a similar experience with the rear brake, long throw and weak power. It was partially disassembled when I got it for shipping purposes meaning the brakes were disconnected.

I recently picked up a low mile Venge Vias with rim brakes all stock with CLX64 wheels.

Thanks for taking so much time to write that up, it's pretty thoughtful and logical. I think next I'll skip to the last of your suggestions and remove all the parts at the caliper end - everything except the cable and sheath, which are new, and the shifter - and start again from scratch. and replaced the internal tiny Teflon tube that fits into caliper where the cable enters. The sheaths are new, and it's always possible that I missed a burr, but I did re-do the small length with barrel adjust, just to cross a t. This time, the shifters are some I pulled off another bike (actually Ive move them a couple of times) and the braking from them worked perfectly when I removed them from the previous bike so while it 's possible they are the culprit, that pushes them I think pretty far down the list of possibilities. thanks for taking all the time to lay that out. That's a good methodology to isolate the problem.
