Dave Anscombe Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Ok this sounds like your disc rotor is rubbing on the brake pads.What you need to do is.1st. Put your bike up side down. Undo the front wheel bolts till they are loose though to take the wheel out .2nd.Spin your rim in the forks and tighten up one bolt a little and then the other side a little. repeat this untill brake runs with out rubbing while the wheel is still moving.That should sort your problem out.davex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boswell Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) I have a magura louise and it rubs all the time, if it does'nt slow you down or make that much of a noise just learn to live with it or if you can be bothered true it(straighten it). If you want a disk break that does'nt rub get a avid BB7 they have a huge gap between the pads. Edited August 26, 2007 by Boswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
