How do I open up the Shimano 105 direct mount brake on a 2017 Felt IA 10?
Quote | Reply
Asking because I was practicing changing my rear tire and had a bit of a hard time removing the wheel. All I can find online is to either a) release the tension of the brake cable or b) open the flip switch (much like a road bike). Problem is, I don't see either on this bike.

Thank you.

You remove it from your bicycle and replace it with a TriRig OmegaX. At least that was the only way I was able to do it so that I could fit wider rim wheels (Flo). It was impossible to get that 105 brake to cooperate. My bike shop's initial solution was to grind down the pads. It seems a bit wasteful to put an aero brake down there, but it's just so damn easy to adjust the tririg.
