hi .....i have broken my tpa once and i aint bying a new lever so i fix them........ok so if ur tpa turns but does not ajust the pads to rim listen up ...........
step 1. take all the innerds out out of the lever.
step 2.remove tpa from lever with pliers its quite tough.....
what u will find is that the bolt has snaped
step 3....find a bolt that fits the thread and cut to size and cut a slot in the end so it can activate the ajuster........and thats it
dont worry i shal have pics up soon
been there, done that, a new TPA is like 5AUD though, thats like 3USD so why bother? It is good but it means you have a massive screw hanging out of your lever and if you constantly land on them this can be bad.
If you dont understand, he is replacing the red knob with a screw, thats about it.

uuuuuuuuu no massive screw stickin out u get a hack saw and cut to lenth
and its for ppl whoe cant get to a shop near them or what eva
because if you live in places like norway you have to order from a different country , so why not just go in the shed and fix it in 1 minute? ive done that =)
haha I know you have TRA cause you taught me to do mine!

We did thios ages ago? It seemed common sense to me really, basically all you need to do is find a bolt the same size as the one that has the prong on it, cut out a 'V' shape and you're done - and you can use the origional red TPA bit.
