Boardman pro ht 2011 problems

If the bike is a month old it is due for its first free service - the service is there to sort teething problems like this. Book it in, tell them, and hopefully when back it will be cured. Really isn't Evans problem and having another shop strip and sort out what may be a faulty part can invalidate your warranty.

Yoiu will need to learn some maintenance and adjustment skills though.

Approx 5 months in and Halfords have just replaced my rear axle/bearings/freehub under warranty as they failed.

They have been replaced by different spec parts, a "clicky" freehub (not too bothered about this) a rear axle that has black cup/lock nuts instead of silver (not bothered about this either but.........)

I fitted the rear wheel back into the bike 2 days ago and the brake disc has now moved over to the non drive side a little too much, i have adjusted the calliper as far as i can without modification and the disc still rubs on the pad a little, enough to stop it free spinning in about 2 rotations, i have not had any free time to look at it further, it may be that the new cup/lock nuts are a little shorter than the old versions.

I was thinking maybe a simple washer will help space it..

Try pushing the pistons right back into their bores, then pumping the brake lever a few times. The pistons will need resetting if things have changed.

I believe that will not be enough, it looked to me that the rotor was touching the disc mount on the frame!

If it is not touching, then it is unbelievably close, the paint/powder coat looks like its wearing away, IIRC i could not get the calliper centered over the disc.

I removed the calliper, and then the calliper mount, making sure everything was as far over to the none drive side as i could upon refitting, and the calliper was still not centred.

I will have another look tomorrow after work, i think i may have to either shim the wheel over a smidge, or start elongating the calliper holes a little more

Not that keen on elongating the holes.....

my carrera did this i just put a little washer in one side of the wheel and shifter in across a mm or 2 - i know its not idea but it worked. get halfords to sort it.
