I originally had just the front Tri-Rig brake fitted, but it worked so well, and the standard rear Dura Ace brake looked so inelegant on the bike by comparison, that I put one on the rear as well.

Bike ridden in hilly/medium mtns, (1500m high, or thereabouts).

I was more worried about the brake coming loose on it's bolt, or the Cervelo mount coming loose, so I put some nut grade(blue) threadlock on both, and all has been fine.

Hope this reassures you.....

This is helpful, thank you for your response!

Hi everyone-

I really wanted my brakes to match, so I spent some time fitting the rear brake in a way that I liked. I think the pictures probably speak for themselves, but I chopped off a bit of the corner to eliminate around half of the spacers necessary for fitment. The only thing I don't have a picture of is the metal file I used to finalize the angles for fit. I realize interest has waned in this particular thread, but I'm finishing it in case someone in the future has a similar concern. I don't think the material I removed will compromise the performance of the brake, but if it does, I'll make sure to report back. Cheers!

The spacers you used, they came with the brakes?
Pls report how they perform.
Bytheway, nice job and perfect fit.
