Jan Tore Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi.I'm mounting my new Tryall hope disc brake. Well, first time doing it, I screwed up, and didn't have it 100% centered before pressing the lever. And now, there's no way I can get it centered.Is there any way I can get the pistons out to their "0" position again?Thanks!Jan Tore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Tore Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Well, figured.Press em out.Anyway, here's the second problem. Can't centre the calipter.As you can see. The calipter is all the way to the left, with no spacers. But still, the calipter isn't centered with the disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 You're going to have to take it to your local bike shop for them to face down the frame... Not too bad a job, just needs an expensive tool. Alternatively, buy a brake with a post mount fitting, so you can bolt it on, pull the lever and do the bolts up and it would be perfectly set up (99% of the time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 The easiest way to solve this is by putting an M10 washer on the end of the hub axle, to space the hub and rotor away from the disc mount, then just space the caliper correctly with shims. Done it several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Tore Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) edit: This pretty much explains why the bag the brake came in was full of oil. One of the pistons is leaking.edit2: It explains why one of the pistons won't lock in after i've squeezed the lever.
