Hi,
I have some Hope Mono Minis. I took my front wheel off to fix a puncture, before I put it back on I pulled the brake lever and it was loose. I pulled it again and it was at the usual tension. I went to put my wheel back on and found the pads are now touching together and I cannot get the disc back between the pads. Any ideas how I can get the pads to separate so I can get my wheel back in. Cheers guys.

Flat bladed screwdriver - gently push the pistons back in...... just squeeze it in between the pads and do one then the other
The best thing to use is a flat bottle opener (they gave one away free a few issues back)
Absolutely cack bottle opener but damn good for the job above!
