Is there anyway to get these damn things to stop rubbing?


I mean at first I understand you have to "burnish" down the pads but they still squeek sometimes. Any suggestions?

bring them to your LBS;)

The easiest way to line up the pads is:

1. take the wheel off
2. take the pads out
3. with a 10mm wrench, push the pistons back as far as they go, being careful not to brake off the post the shoes connect to.
4. reinstall wheel
5. loosen caliper bolts (not the brake adapter; loosen the bolts that connect the caliper to the adapter)
6. squeeze brake lever and jiggle the caliper to allow it to set itself on center
7. while still holding the lever, tighten the caliper bolts

You should be good to go, if not after step 5, slide a business card between the outside pad and the rotor and proceed to 6.

Oh yeah, after I typed all that, I realized you should just do a SEARCH because i've typed it before:rolleyes:
