Rear Brake noise...

Mr OCD

After some entertainment at Gisburn on Saturday my back brake sounds a bit strange ... sounds like it's dragging badly ... any tips to sort it? - Plan to do this tonight.

Worth stripping down to clean up? - never done this before ...

They are Tektro Augria Comps...

Also is it worth changing the pads for something better?

A clean never hurt. Easy way short of removing pads is to use the edge of a cloth and stick it in like the disc would and pull back and forwards till no more dirt comes out and the cloth run clean.

You need to realign the caliper- all the in FAQs.

New pads? the OE ones will be ok, never heard bad things about them. Superstar if you need/want new? change when then get to about 1mm of material.

Well plan to remove the pads and inspect (downloaded manual) ...

But cant seem to find the info on to how to realign the caliper. Even the manual I've download doesnt say anything about this...
