Hi,
Hopefully a quick question – I have deore brakes on a bike and the pads aren’t retracting sufficiently so the pad are rubbing the discs. Its not one side or the other side that isn’t retracting – both pads are evenly rubbing the disc. I don’t think the positioning of the caliper is at fault.
I’ve tried popping the wheel out, pulling the lever so the pistons extend out and levering them back followed by a good bleed which made little difference.
Is it worth trying this a couple more times? Does the fact that both pistons are equally rubbing the disc suggest it is an issue at the lever end?
Any other suggestions?
Incidentally, the brakes are ~5 years old and have been left untouched for about 18 months.
