Brake adjustment screw keeps unscrewing

Hi,
my road bike has FSA Gossamer brakes. The small allen screw that adjusts the gap of the pads and the rim keeps getting loose after use and the one pad eventually touches the rim. Happens only to the front brake. That's not a serious problem but it is a bit frustrating. Any suggestions to keep it in place? Cheers!

  • That is very odd, unless you are riding on extremely bumpy terrain all the time, I would say it may have been manufactured incorrectly. You should speak to the manufacturer about getting it looked at under warranty if it isn't too old.

    If you want to try a fix yourself, stick some red loctite threadlocker on it...
  • I ride good tarmac mostly, that's why I don't think it should happen so easily.
    Thanks for the idea nweststeyn! I'll try something like this out!
