HellI everyone,
I just installed the prebled Shimano deore XT brakes. I thought it was fairly simple and they seem to function pretty well, however they seem to rub a tad bit. I made sure the wheels were on properly and loosened the calipers and held the lever down and retightened it down. They still contact the rotor in one small spot and there is some rubbing. It's not bad but I was wondering if there is a quick fix. Here are my main questions:
Is it the rotor? Should I get a rotor tool and bend it ?
Will it align over time during the break in period?
Could it be my wheels? I heard that hydraulic brakes self align..
Did i eff it up? I was proud that I was able to get this far haha. Any help would be appreciated.
