so i came across these cycleworks brakes that my friend wants me to put on his bike. after checking the cycleworks website i noticed that there isnt an adjuster knob on the left side of the brakes as shown in the site. here's a link to what the brakes should look like with the adjustment knob on the top left

here's a pic of the brakes he gave me, notice that there isnt an adjuster knob on the top left as shown in the website, any suggestions?

contact Craig at EE. I had an issue with my EE brakes and he was very responsive and extremely helpful. Love the brakes, btw.

yes...whoever sold you the brakes did not give you the micro adjuster that the housing feeds into.

id send em a message to see what the deal is.

great brakes FWIW, best I've ever ridden.

You still appear to be missing the barrel adjusters, unless they just aren't in the pictures. That is what eBaumann is referring to. (I think)

i dont think there are any adjusters according to what the gentleman from EE sent me in this link

well, for starters, those aren't 2015 brakes that you have there, the design has been revised recently to include the "knob" you are referencing.

If you have the part that i circled in the photo above, then your brakes are fine, nothing missing, install and enjoy.
