Hey guys. I havn't been on here for awhile and am now at a shop selling TREK but one thing i noticed in the above reply by trislice was that the brake cover can sit so close to the brake arms that they touch and don't allow the arms to have there full spring tension. Few options here. If you don't have the di2 version remove it. If you need it you might want some spacers to allow it to sit a touch higher. A bit of grease between the cover and the brake arms might help. Hope you got it sorted already or some of this helps.

Oh, yes... I had forgotten that... I thought I had documented my fix for this above, but don't see it... I used a small "u" shaped cut out piece of black foam (one of those 8.5"x11" paper sized foam sheets you find in a craft store) to create the space between the caliper and the u-shaped cover.
I recall those screws to the cover being tightly attached.. note the 'loctite' note above. That means it takes quite a hefty turn to get them started. i just tried a 2.5, and it doesn't fit.. i guess that means that the 2mm was the one that fit.
