Hi all,

I recently changed the calipers on my RX9 from Avid bb5s to TRP Spyre twin pistons (still cable). They are fully wound out and as far inboard as they will go but the inner pad on the rear is scraping the disc and I have no further adjustment available.

Any ideas?

    Calliper alignment??
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    It's as far over as it will go, it's almost as though it need to move a few mm inboard but it won't.

    Can happen sometimes depending on the combination of frame, hub and calliper as well as disc (unless it's plain steel). If it's only a moderately light rub it will be gone in no time as the pad beds in.

    What discs do you have? If they are 6-bolt, you could shim the disc out with washers.
