Brakes adjustments

<< < (3/3)

El__burro:
After tightening all the bolts to 40 nM the disc seems straight.
The wheel spins free but when I pull the brake it goes a bit tough until I punch the calliper towards the wheel.
I guess the punch helps the pad to retract once it hits the disc.

Thanks

Johnwebley:
it seems the pad is meeting the disc squarely,


 roughen the pad surface,re-fit and spin the wheel,then un assemble,see were the disc is rubbing the pad,use a file to take away the
high spot,continue until the wheel spins,and make sure the piston retracts,and the pad moves easily on the caliper.

the fixed pad is almost self aligning,

El__burro:
After removing the calliper and unsticking the brake pads (it had some extra bit on one side) the disk turns freely;
the new issue is that i need to pull the brake lever a few times before it locks the brake.

what shall I do next?
thanks
El__burro

hairygit:
Try adjusting it. Undo the locknut and adjust until there is just about 6thou between the fixed pad and the disc.
