sstein Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've just got a new disk brake put it on and there is a gravely grinding feeling when you pull the lever can anyone tell me what this is? and what i should do to solve it?Set up the pads so they are properly aligned. Sounds like the pad is catching on the cutouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 If the grinding is when you pull the lever and its a cable disk then the cable is rubbing on the cable outer, lever or caliper. Check the ends of the cable outer have been cut smoothly without leaving a point that rubs the cable as it moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
