Anyone know anything about disc brakes?

stop pulling the brake levers!

are your rotors true? is it a continual rub or a tsssching - quiet - tssching noise?

Love that....

'...a tsssching - quiet - tssching noise?' 😀

No noise. Just constant rubbing. Tbh seems to be easing but not completely.

I'm going to sand the pads down a touch.

Did you open up the piston before fitting new pads?

Sound like that the piston have auto adjust for the wear of the old pads, that when fitting new pads, it end up being too tight.

Put old pads back on, pry it open as much as possible, then fit new pads in.

Thanks Ed. Will do. Mel

In the end I'm riding it and confess it's easing. Maybe I'm just a wuss!

Looking for replacement pads for TRP Spyres. Do I just get these?

Shimano equivalents usually reccommended. Spyre ones wear pretty fast

?

Or B01S, probably pick them up at most shops for the same or less money.

TRP pads are utter shit, I like uberbike sintered

Clarks any good? (trying to build a basked on SJS lol)

Summer25 code or something for 25% off at uberbike at the moment.

Thanks, looks like it'll do just well.

On another note, maybe you and the others can help.

I have had to make the cable taut twice now to make the brake when pulling not spongy - sign of worn pads? My friend assures me I have plenty of pad left....

Worn but not worn out.

Ok kool...ill order new pads then seeing as there a code going. thanks all

Pleasantly surprised, during the recent downpours, by how less dirty your bike gets in rain, once you do away with all that silvery/grey shit from the alloy brake surface.

Cheers. Four pairs of race matrix pads for £22 - done.

its good isnt it? stopping is fucking great in the wet too
