*Tom* Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Are the pads touching? or just to close to get the disc in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomer Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Too close to get the disc in. force them back with a screwdriver. you may need to use shims to space the caliper out correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Tom* Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yeah thought about doing that but thought there was a more sensible way lol whats shims?Thats just about the only way to do it. Shims are washers that you have to use to line the caliper up with the disc rotor, best way to do it is to put the caliper on the rotor hold the brake on then find the right size washer/s to fit in the gap between your fork and caliper.
