Hey everyone, I've noticed that my front brake pads are not binding evenly. It's my first time adjusting brake pads, and I can’t seem to get the pads to close uniformly — the front of the pad touches the rim before the middle, while the rear of the pad doesn't even touch it at all. I've added 2 videos from different angles to show this:

I followed the Brompton tutorial and I adjusted the caliper and the brake pads exactly as the video shows, but it didn't fix the uneven alignment.

How can I adjust the pads so they make full contact with the rim? Which screws should I be adjusting? Thanks for the help!

  1. Do the other brake pads behave the same?

    Could be 3 things imo:
    1) brake pad is not inserted correctly
    2) brake pad holder is bent
    3) brake arm is bent
