Hi all – a little help, please?
The nice people at Biketart sent me some formula mega brakes in replacement for some Avids that were not right. All very good so far.
However, the front brake won’t actually brake, as in the pads don’t apply any pressure to the disc. There’s no contact point adjustment that I can see, and I’ve bled them (twice). The pads move, but they’re just too far apart to brake the wheel.
Would Formula discs be wider than the Avids that are on the bike, or is something wrong? I’ve obviously mailed Biketart, who have been more than helpful (not to mention generous) so far, but I’d like to fix this today if possible.
There’s also the slimmest possibility that I’m being a numpty…
