scorpa3 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Carefully prise the brake pads apart, this will give you a bit of free play with the disc. (But remember to pump the pedal before riding!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastandyc Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) unless i havent tapped the bearings home far enough! seems a bloody tight fit! have another look at it in the mornin,plenty of room between the pads! maybe just need another pair of hands?

o.a.s motorcycles Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Chances are you've got the alloy wheel spacers the wrong way round, one is slightly bigger than the other that one should be disc side. Other than that your on your own! Edited February 13, 2008 by O.A.S motorcycles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastandyc Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 sorted now! didnt know about the spacers,not sure which way round i got em? but i went out to the garage1 stared stared some more and then,realized the only way was to drop the wheel in from the top...doh,went in stright away,but i dont know what way round i have the spacers,but everythings turning freely,and the chain seems to be inline!

scorpa3 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Is the disc running centrally in the caliper? If it's catching the side (or one side more than the other), you are off centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 i dont know what way round i have the spacers,but everythings turning freely,and the chain seems to be inline! You should be able to see which is the thicker spacer with the wheel in place, definitely worth checking to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
