Hi,

Whilst cleaning my bike I removed and refitted the rear wheel. Unfortunately my rear disc is now rubbing so badly that the wheel only freewheels for about 1/2 rotation before stopping!

Can anybody either point me in the direction of or explain (very basically!!) what I have to adjust to get things running smoothly again!

Thanks

    using something clean press on the pads to push the pistons home and re fit the wheel and then apply the brakes a few times to set the pads/pistons.

    dont pull the lever next time the wheel is out.

    Ok,

    So I didn't pull the lever with the wheel out....

    I have now removed the wheel again. So are you suggesting that I insert something between the pads and push outwards to move the pads back? If so I have tried this using a piece of plastic but they don't shift. Do i need to loosen any of the other bolts? I have already loosened off the caliper adjustment bolts.

    Thanks again!

    Sorted thanks for the help bit of effort with the box end of a spanner pushed the pistons back. Wheel is now running free and no rubbing :P
