Just changed pads for the first time on my front wheel ( Avid Elixir) old ones popped out no problem.New ones straight in.Thing is this: Disc was tight going back in-between pads and is rubbing a bit.Killed me doing a 40 min climb.
I was thinking they would bed in and all would be ok,,, not.
Do I simply need to bleed the system a bit to allow the pistons to go back in?
Thanks
You need to push the pistons back - do it carefully - plastic tyre lever can be good orput the old pads back in and use a screwdriver ( use teh old pads so as not to risk damage new ones)
Unless you have bought cheapo pads that are too thick - some are.
Occasionally there can be too much fluid in teh system which stops the pads going back far enough - in which case you need to open the bleed valve as you push the pads back but this is unlikely unless you have topped up the fluid with half worn pads
Got it. Cheers dude . .
