I dont see how they can be rubbing if you just set them up straight, do them up tight and put TPA on full. Should give you a nice feel.If the problem is that one piston isnt moving back and so rubs, this is abit of an annoying one. What is the precise problem?Consider getting a re bleed?Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Dig Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Adjust the tpa fully out before u put the pads in. Use a credit card between your rims and pads to stop rubing. It works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
