after a little advice..... (sorry for the poor discriptions on things but dont no the proper technicle jargen)
ive just bought an rear Avid BB7 caliper and 160mm rotor but have no idea how to set it up properly as ive only ever used hydraulic disc brakes in the past (this is for my jump bike) but lots of people on here use the BB7 as trials so i thought id ask you lot because when i search the internet it comes up with advice from mtbr and others and they all say different things, and i dont understand it lol
i must say that us trials riders no what were on about when it comes to bikes more then most because were allways fixing/changing things etc etc
Basicaly, im using a shimano LX lever, new cable, outer cable from the lever to the cable guide thingy on the top tube (dunno what its called) then the bare cable to the end of the cable guide thingy on the top tube, then goes into another outer cable straight to the caliper.. (hope you under stand that?) lol
ive pulled the cable as much as i can then tightend the cable pich bolt on the caliper to keep the cable tight so when as soon as i pull the lever in 2mm the caliper arm already moves
The PROBLEM:
The disc rubs a little, but if i loosen the caliper bolts and move the caliper so it dosent touch the rotor, the pads are well far from the rotor and when i pull the lever i have to pull it all the way in so it works?
can i not set it up so i only pull the lever half way in before it locks?
ive tried seting up the caliper so the rotor is bang in the middle then turning the knobs but it still moves the disc ( looks like its bending) when i pull the lever??
PLEASE HELP!!
