Hey guys, a little help if possible…
The GF has been complaining of loud, and under power brakes on her hardtail, she has old style deores on it, but new style deores on her FS, naturally, ive been ignoring her, and putting it down to the old style being less powerful.
I may have gotten things wrong with that though, as i have gotten round to investigating it, levers seem solid with a good bleed, calipers pretty central, not obvious warping of the disc, however….
The discs seem to be sitting in the caliper correctly, but they distinctly look like they are wearing too far into the disc, the pads seem to miss the outer edge, and wear the spider arms….
I have found a shimano compatibility chart p24 of which seems to suggest that the brakes, BR-M446 are not compatible with SM-RT64 rotors.
It also suggests that the calipers are not compatible with sintered pads

are 160mm rotors not just 160mm rotors…
I owe the GF an apology for ignoring her don’t I? can someone confirm my error?
