    Help please! If I had the money i’d swap these bloomin avid brakes as I don’t rate them very high but I cant so I must keep using them and have a slight problem only with the rear after fitting new pads. They rub on the disc a bit and I’ve tried pushing the pistons back as far as they will go but still they rub. Is there an easy solution? I read online about removing some fluid but wouldn’t know where to start on that. Help!

    Thanks in advance

    Removing the fluid is very easy. Undo the bleed port (probably won’t even have to fully remove it) and hold a rag right under it, push the pistons back and put the bleed screw back in.

    Ah brill, thanks for the help, hopefully that should stop me swearing at them for a while!
