p_ruskin Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Got a new frame the other day, and its disk only:( I have never been a fan of them as i have never had one that has worked, Tried to set this one up, and the rotor rubbed on the far pad, so i put spacers in and it still did, even after 3-4mm of spacers it was still rubbing on the far pad and preventing the wheel from spinning. The lever likes to adjust itself with every pull and for the brief few moments it worked and was rideable, it had no hold at all What am i doing wrong? and how can i fix this, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Sure it's set up square? Get your mounts faced and start again, get it as central as possible, then go bed it in properly. It'll adjust itself and should all be running nicely after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Mine took a lot of fiddling, patience, swearing, playing around with different washers... Push the pistons all the way in, use a flat head screwdriver and push one pad onto the other to push the piston in. Then put in the selected washers to get the caliper sat so the rotor is central. Then pump the lever, see if the pads hit it square, and if it rubs. I had to keep doing that, until I got the combination of washers. Even took a file to the mounts on my frame as I am yet to get it faced! Had to do this for the front and rear disc too! Just take your time with it. Also make sure the rotor and pads aren't contaminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
