disc alignment issue

step83

Im getting a bit peeved with this an i know the cause of the problem but not the fix

Every time i take the wheels off to put them in the car when I come to put them back on i have to re adjust the brake position.
My thinking is when i clamp down the QR skewer its moving the chainstays and forks inwards. Is this just me being useless of is there a way round this? As re adjusting the brakes every time is annoying

Make sure your cones are tight and the wheel is fully in the dropouts and you shouldn't have a problem

using the transport spacers that came with the brakes/bike?

I always lob those in incase the levers get a squeeze.

An chuckers i do but it still happens it annoys me no end

Bits shouldn't be moving, so something is loose.

Nothing should be moving, when you say adjust the brakes, what do you actually mean?

Avid brakes? A friend had a problem where he'd catch the disc on one pad on the way in and it would push that pad back and the other would come out a bit, drove him nuts until we figured what was happening...

Im using Shimano Deore M596s. Im having to loosen them from their mount and reposition them. Ill have to wait till i get my wheels back from being trued before i can test them see if its just me being special.
