Thank you for this amazing video, I have just fixed a problematic caliper on my Widewheel Pro using your tips and it works just fine now. Huge thumbs up.

I have the Pro and rode through a 8" puddle and weeks later both breaks seized up and locked up as it fell apart. I nearly wrecked both times. Got new break hydraulic breaks for the back. Much better don't have to adjust my pads from ware each ride.😁

interestingly I'm still on my first set of pads and I just recently changed out the pads for my friends Pro (he has two teenage kids) and those got 2 years.
I dunno what is happening with yours, but I'm glad you got a system you like

Is it possible to use a different caliper

[@finophile]

undoubtedly ... however finding a caliper that is an exact match with the mounting will be slightly problematic, not to mention fitment on the wheel side. I would suggest that for a tiny fraction of the effort required in finding one, modding it all and still finding that IT has difficulties (and what they are and how to solve them that just simpler to spend the few moments needed to tune up this one. It is after all almost identical to every other mechanical disc caliper on the market and there have just been but a few (loudly squealed about by the emotional and largely ignorant) on some forums.
