brakes constantly on

chriskenward

i just fitted new pads on my juicy 5's and now the brakes are constantly rubbing i rode in the street to bed them in but it didnt work and its hard to get the bike moving

nicklouse

did you push the pistons back into the caliper before fitting the pads?

chriskenward

ye as far is i could

ride_whenever

are they both rubbing or is it just one side?

chriskenward

both pads are clenching the disk pretty tightly

ride_whenever

remove wheel and pads, reset pistons, wind out wear adjuster/adjuster thingys, then reset pistons again and reinstall pads and wheel

chriskenward

where is the wear adjuster and what is it? and what shall i use to reset piston

ride_whenever

i was lying, the fives only have the reach adjustment. I'd take the pads out, push both the pistons back at the same time with a tyre lever. then reinstall the pads, and make sure you've got the spring in.
