James Hart Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 hi, i just got my hope mini disc brake but the disc is rubbing really bad! How would I be able to adjust the pads to make them not rub on the disc? Its a Grimica disc on a hope mini (not the mono) and the disc is 165mm.

Siders77 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) It could be the disc you're using. It might be too wide for the caliper or something. I think that there is a little screw near the lever blade that adjusts the lever/pad reach have a fiddle about with that. :D EDIT: The screw is here :S Edited July 21, 2005 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Use the thin washers provided to space the caliper enough to clear the pads. The bolt pointed out above does absolutely nothing to the position of the pads it only adjusts the reach of the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Oh right. Sorry about that, i've only ever used the Mono Mini for a few days and I didn't touch the screw bit. I only though that i did something because I have exactly the same thing on my Juicy 7 and it adjusts the pads. Sorry! :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hart Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I havent got any washers becuase i brought the disc second hand. But the disc isn't even think. Oh and its one of those without any holes in it. Could this be the problem? Is there any bolts on the caliper i can adjust?

Siders77 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I have some washers I could send you if you want mate? :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Nope just buy a pack of the smallest hope spacers for £1.50 off CRC and space it until both pads stop rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
