Tektro Auriga Comp Hydraulic disc pad catching

benjaminbroadhead

Hi

Looking for some advice on how to create a bit of a gap between one of the pads and the disc on a Tektro Auriga Comp Hydraulic brake

I had the bike upside down earlier spinning the front wheel and it seems to be catching on one if the pads so the wheel doesn't rotate freely.

Is there a relatively easy way to adjust the pad?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Could be the caliper needs centering. Simply loosen caliper mounting bolts squeeze brake lever 4 or 5 times. Maintain lever pressure whilst tightening caliper bolts back up. Do the bolts back up gradually moving back and forth from one to the other and your caliper should be centred over the disc.

All a bit new to this! Which bolts do I need to loosen off?

The ones holding the calliper onto the mount.

NOT the ones holding the two parts of the calliper together. Or all the fluid will come out, you'll have a handful of bits, and be really sad. It happens regularly.

Have a read of Partools - click on the bit of bike and it tells you pretty much everything.

The black ones in this pic, not the silver ones.

Thanks both. All sorted now and it seems to have done the trick!
