Hi
My 2011 Formula RX rear brake lever reach constantly adjusts itself. Each ride I have to screw it out a few turns as the lever is almost pulling into the bar after a few hours. I have tried putting loctite threadlok on the threads and letting it set overnight, but the problem is still there on the next ride
Has anybody solved a similar problem with any other product?
Thanks
Sounds familiar. My Oros had an adjuster that was made of cheese - although I never adjusted it even once the threads on it stripped. The lever would pull to the bar - the 1st time was scary. Turning it a bit seemed to get a new bit of thread - eventually that would go too. Returned under warranty - repaired FOC after 1st asking for payment.
#Edit - this was the part: I dont know what the equivalent on RX's is.

It sounds like you've somehow stripped the threads on the pin or barrel of the adjuster.
You need this kit -

Hi
Thanks for the replies
The threads are fine, just slack
I think it is the vibrations that rattle it loose. It moves about half a turn on a few hours of riding, but it is irritating
I have unsuccessfully used loctite threadlok, I don't want to use a product that would mean the lever reach couldn't be adjusted again
Thanks
