What am i doing wrong? I adjust the spring tension then tighten the hex bolt. But every time i do this it tightens up the spring??
Thanks
 
This is what Proper bikes e-mail me
I know this sounds strange as it's a new brake, sometimes with frames
with removable brake mounts they are machined slightly smaller than
normal. So what you might need to do is file of half a millimetre of the
brass bushing on the brake. This will stop the binding or lack of
tension.

So what does this mean?
