nb88 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Took my front wheel off a while ago as i was gonna sell it so i took pictures. i took the rotor off aswell. put it back on today and the disc rubs on one pad so badly but it has the exact same setup as before when it worked fine! anyone got any ideas what this could be?

CBProductions Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Retract the pistons with a tyre lever then ensure that you have put your wheel in the dropouts properly seems a silly thing to ask but its got to be checked as I've done it myself. Also check all your bolts incase something has come loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir trial a lot Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Another thing, again it may sound silly but i found that if i tighten my disk up slightly more/less it rubs. as the pads run so close to the disk tiny little differences can make it rub.

nb88 Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Tried retracting pistons, tightening all bolts so theyre the same as before...still rubs! so weird.... maybe if i ride it for a while it'll go away the brake doesnt feel nice either, more spongey.
