rubbing front brake

jsync

hi,

i recently bought some oro k24 to replace my noisy juicy 3s, a good improvement. however, the front rubs and is noticably firmer on the lever than the rear. i assume this is because there is too much fluid in the system and i need to bleed a little at the lever end by undoing the bleed screw and prising the pads apart a little. but before i do can someone tell me i'm right.

thanks

Exactly the same brakes I bought to replace my Juicy 3s! So much better and more confidence inspiring. Not sure if bleeding is the answer though - have you checked the lateral adjustment of the caliper? Loosening these screws and moving the caliper until it is properly aligned with the disc should stop the rubbing.

just use them they will come ok. Presuming that they are set up right. you could push the pads/pistons home and reset them.

thanks for therepies, i havetried to entre using the loosen and apply method. i have yet to do it by sight as i find it difficult to see he gap. i had readsomewhere else on the forum that there can sometimes be too much fluid, which explains why i cant push the pads back fully.
