moving disc

richardw

Hi there, I have recently changed my pads for sintered pads to deal with hard conditions, I have a Shimano MX-2 So1e Discs system. When checking the brakes afterwards I noticed the front disc moves slightly inwards towards the wheel when the brake lever is fully pressed (when both pads are gripping), is this OK or do I need to stop this from happening?

The rear is fine, solid. My main concerns here are a warped disc and uneven wear on the pads.

Any advice would be appreciated.

what brakes?

Shimano MX-2 So1e Discs do not exist!

i guess hayes sole hydros

adjust the caliper and the static piston. go to hayes webby and down load the manual if you dont have it.

Sorry about the duff info, you are partly right. They are Hayes MX-2 So1e mechanical, not hydro. I have taken another look tonight and I don't think there is much I can do. I have kept making adjustments but it doesn't seem to get any better than what it already is. From the looks of the disc, it is just slightly warped, which would mean that it has been like this for a while or since I had the bike (1 year).

sorry to correct you they are MX-2's if they are mechanical. the SOLE are hydros.

manual here http://www.hayesdiscbrake.com/support_downloads.shtml at the bottom.

move the static inner "piston" and then realign the caliper.

This system is designed to flex the rotor inwards towards the static piston.
