Shimano brakes help!!!

aymon

Hi i have the unbranded shimano BR-M575 and I was wondering how I could adjust the point of contact because it is really slack. I have tried taking the wheel off and pumping it a few times, which works but only for about five minutes.

Any ideas?

You can't.

Either they need a bleed or new pads

adjust the lever reach away and go ride. take the allen key with you and as the lever firms up adjust the reach back.

Also make sure that the pads are not moving the disc as this will increase the lever travel.
