i just purchased a full front hydro brake set with arms and tie rods..when i installed the calipers with new brake pads when i turn the hubs the rotors make a grinding sound in some spots while spinning..my question is that normal with new pads untill they "groove in" to the new rotor? or am i doing something wrong?
hydro brake
- Thread starter beaten blaster
- Start date
i took the disks off and looked..there straight and even..the rotors do have light surface rust in some spots..could that be what the pads are scraping on?
could be ?
did you try spinning the rotors while on the bike and look for wooble ?
try pulling the calipers off and greasing the slide pins under the rubber boots, you'll need to unbolt the one from the back with the allen head, <(under the rubber plug) to remove the bracket and clean/grease the slides and pins, it should be done once a year anyway
also the calipers did not come with bolts so im trying to use some of mine to figure out size..could i possibly need a shim?
the rotors both spin true awk.. i will grease it now while i have both calipers off..
the norman420 spindles need a small washer between the caliper bracket and spindle mount to space them properly to the inside.
check to see if it's the inside pad hitting mostly, and add a washer in there if needed, won't hurt a thing
damn you good awk.. perfect fit with a shim like you said..now they work perfect now I:I.. thanks buddy
