Hi Brant,
I am a proud owner a Planet X Tempest V3 since 2019. It is very well looked after. But after reading journeymonk’s comment here about “the rear brake mount is not accurately aligned, which means the rotor rubs on the caliper”.
It has reminded me that I have been struggling to stop the rear disc caliper pads rubbing despite having tried every method suggested on the internet. Loosening the caliper frame mount 25 start bolts then engaging the rear brake then re-tightening.
To confirm I still have the issue, I have tried another two sets of wheels, the Fulcrum Racing 5 DB, and now the FFWS F3A DB 700c wheels.I am wondering with the flat mount adapters used for mounting the calipers, that there would be enough play to resolve the issue by loosening, then repositioning the caliper until the rubbing stops.
Brant (or anyone else that is experiencing this problem) please could you help, as all I want is to fix this problem on my lovely Tempest V3. Could it be that the rear flat mount welded bosses for the disc brake caliper mount are misaligned? I have not yet spoken to Planet X about it but suspect it is just out of warranty.
thanks,
