I just reset the pads on my front and rear brakes because they were dragging and touching the rotor no matter how much I adjusted them.
I used a shim that was probably too thick to set them right after they were reset, when I mounted them on the bike it took about 300-400 brake squeezes to get the rear brake contacting properly and it feels great now. However my front brake pads will not get much closer to the rotor no matter how many times I've pumped the brake. I even removed the pads and squeezed them with just the pistons to try to get them out a little further and that didn't even get them closer.
What can I do to get my front brake working again? They are '07 XT Hydros.
Thanks for the help.
