Can anyone help. I took my front wheel off to store my bike the other day, When I went to put it back on the Disc would not fit between the pads, after a bit of fiddling I got it in but the brake still rubs slightly, How do i stop this?

Did you catch the lever with the brakes out? Take the pads off and push the pistons back in. Refit wheel as before, with same QR tension. Check nothing is loose, especially hub cones. Check the rotor isnt warped.0

and then just use. and they will stop rubbing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

why do you need to take the pads out?
can you not just force the pads and therefore also the pistons apart?0 -
what brakes are you using? if they are avid juicys the solution is simple, squeeze brake leaver 5-6 times for a second each then hold it for 6 seconds this should re adjust the calipers, but make sure your wheel is in OR you will be adjusting your pads to the empty space, next time you take your wheel out you should use a pad spacer, these should have been provided lol, if not they are very very very cheap or you can use a piece of plastic same width as brake rotor.Lost in my own mind, slowly loosing control of what I once was.0
