hey all,

very slight issue with my M4 at the front, when the wheel is spinning there is a very slight rub/grind, it is very quite but it is noticeble. iv centered the caliper numerous times, followed hope's intsrtuctions and the you tube vids, pushed the pistons back etc... the wheel is true, the rotor isnt warped or anything like that, there both brand new. iv checked the clearance bewteen the floating rotor and my fork as well, there is no rub there either.... opinions please :)

thanks, sam

    new or old brakes?

    after adjustment of the caliper have you let them bed in? some rubbing is normal.

  • there new, the bedding in process didn't cross my mind, havn't ridden it down a decent sized hill yet...

    how long do you reckon the bed in should take, 3 maybe 4 decent rides ?
