Help A noob in distress
My disk brake piston (one of them) isn't seating itself properly back into 'hole' causing disk brake rub
if I removed the brake so it has no resistance & pump the brake leaver, it simply doesn't return to it's default position. They are not the greatest brakes, less than 4 months old & are hydralic
Why is this & what to do? I remove my wheels often? Dunno if that's anything to do with it? Just listing all the facts
thanks guys

clean the piston and lube it with the correct lube for your brakes - shimano and some others use mineral oil. most use dot fluid. Lube either with the correct fluid or red rubber grease. work the piston in and out a few times once lubed. Do this with the pads out so as not to contaminate them
