Has anybody actually got these to stop constantly rubbing? absolute nightmare. I dont mind a small amount but very annoying when the front and rear wheel doesn't turn freely. I tried aligning pads and pushing pistons back but they seem stuck? or perhaps they are all the way back?

    Loosen off the bolts which attach the caliper to the frame, then squeeze your brake lever all the way until both pads completely touch the discs, while still squeezing the brake lever (might need a mate for this - or an elastic band!) and tighten up the caliper. If that doesn't work than i don't know what will.

    And the go and ride and they will bed in and stop rubbing.

    I have a set on my main bike - going on six years without a rub, bleed or any maintenance whatsoever.

    Big fan.

    Really 6 years? Impressive.

    They are not new so doubt they would need bedding in.

    But yeah I will go ride tomorrow and hopefully will go away.
