I am once again having to perform maintenance on my brakes due to noise/rubbing/poor performance (yea disc brakes are so awesome). While i was futilely trying to straiten my rotor with cresent wrench, i noticed that my brake pads weren't parallel to my rotor, and it seemed that every time i pulled the brake lever, the pads would be off to different degrees of severity. The pads seemed to form more of a 'v' profile instead of two flush surfaces - my ascii diagram: This \ || / instead of this | || |. I took the pads out and tried to spread the flimsy little spring, but it didn't change much when i reinstalled the brakes.
What can i do to fix this?
