Hi,

I just bought TRP and got a problem installing them on my bike.

It seems brakes have limited setup possibilities and I couldn't get them working as expected on my rear wheel as you see in my
pictures.
It seems brake holes on my frame are not parallel as they are a bit convergent. I trust TRP brakes, they work on the fork perfectly so I think they are exactly 90 degree.

Should I blame the frame builder ? It is an high end frame. I don't want to use those brakes in that way of course.

Did anybody get the same problem ? What would you do ?

Is there no toe-in adjustment on the TRP brakes?

Old Mafac brakes had no toe-in adjustment, and a bench grinder could be used to take off a portion of the brake block to change the toe-in. With a modern pad, there's less material to remove, but it would still work - although the pad's life may be cut pretty short.

channel locks and a vise

and you give the post arm a slight bend for toe-in. It appears in the pic his pads are toe-in, leading edge making contact first. Set them up and ride, they may work fine

There is no toe-in adjustment on those brakes.

Since the frame is an high end frame, meanwhile I sent an email to the local dealer and see what he says. The retail price (frame, fork and headset) is 3.100euro, so I think I can ask.

Didn't the arm of the pad holder have a toe-in adjustment?

I got rid of mine awhile ago so I can't remember completely.

That's what I'm wondering. Don't those Eurox brakes ship with adjustable pad holders, a.k.a. "Inplace Road CNC adjustable angle cartridge pad holders"?

yep, I have a set. Loosen bolt at the end of the brake post. Position the pad. Tighten. If you can't get them to work doing this then you have a seriously wonky brake post.
