Hayes so1e, sorted.

*Scott*

As title, I have been playing around with my setup trying to erradicate the rattle, solution was a thin strip of PTFE tape on the thread of the inner pad adjustment plate, sorted it a treat, no rattle, more positive adjustment, gonna keep these brakes now I think and save myself some £'s.
Just thought I would post this easy fix and just maybe help someone else avoid the problem.
I know the So1e's aren't great but this little improvement has stopped me spending so can't be bad eh.

i have the same brakes, and think they need too much work.

One thing to watch out for - on the earlier Soles (no idea about later ones) as the pads wore down, eventually they'd get to the point where one could pop out of the front of the caliper.

It's fine if it actually makes it, but it's more likely to just lock up the wheel.

This has been known for a while, so Hayes *should* have fixed it.

You might think this is an obvious design fault that should have never made it to production but it happened to me on a car once. :shock:
