    ive just removed the pads from my hope m4 brakes pushed back the pistons and fitted the new pads . but the pistons keep working their way back out so they are rubbing on the rotor . ive tried a few times but they just keep going back to the rotor. will it bed in after use and be ok or am i missing something like too much fluid in the system or something.

    its not locked on and its eased up a bit whilst i sorted my gears but still rubbing

    cheers

    mmm, I've just being trying to stop my deore ones rubbing this afternoon. Both pistons free, i've loosened the bolts and put the brake on – done them back up and it still rubs slightly. Annoying to say the least. Rotor slightly warped?

    open the bleed nipple and let a couple of drops of fluid out.
