Guys - Rear brake pads are too close to disc causing too much drag, manual doesnt advise on how to release the pads a little to move them away from the disc ever so slightly.

Is this a bleed jobby, or is there another way?

Advice welcome.

    If you put something in between your pads, say a flat head screwdriver to carefully push the pads apart and then re fit the wheel and pump your brake a few times, this should help them settle again. You may need to take the top cap off your reservoir to do this.

    I used business cards to give it the extra space so it didnt rub, either 1 or 2 in each side then just break a few times take them out and no more problems!
