The front outside pad is very close (ie might be touching) the disc and is making a noise. Is there any way to adjust the pad? The inside is fine? I have had a scan of the internet and can't see any way to just sort out that one!

Sometimes seen bimbling around on a purple Fratello Disc or black and red Aprire Vincenza.

    You have to refit the caliper, undo the bolts, it should self centre as you squeeze while tightening the bolts back. It's like any other disc caliper in that respect

    Thanks! One of the down sides to disc brakes. I guess the upside is the ability to stop in the rain!

    Performace in the wet is more consistent, but the other drawback is the wet weather honking of the discs

    Very true, the standard pads are a little noisy.

    When it's wet they all honk... the original red pads TRP fit are semi-metallic

    At least the TRP brakes in general are better than the BB7 ones I had on my old hybrid. And better than long drops that were on the crashed Italia.
