Anyone know anything about disc brakes?

Right - I have ordered some race matrix Uberbike pads, some Shimano XT RT86 Ice-Tec rotors and some TRP compressionless cables. Will report back.

just lazy way of asking which type they were.

yellow is sintered.
white is race matrix.

I see, I just got in on an order when a mate was ordering some so let him do the choosing.

@snottyotter which olive do I need for Shimano BR BL MT200?

All shimano olives are the same, barb will depend on the hose type, silver for BH90, brass for BH59

They're probably BH59.

BR-MT200 uses BH59:

thank you @snottyotter and @Emyr

here is an image for you:

I'm not in an appropriate place for an erection and now I'm in a lot of trouble, thanks a lot.

Sorry if this has already been asked - new bike but front brake is rubbing

I can't seem to adjust pistons or pads enough to stop it

Is it normal to have bit of rub while it beds in?

Adjust the caliper.
slacken caliper bolts on frame/fork, wiggle caliper, recenter over rotor/disc gently spin wheel, if no rubbing re-tighten bolts.

with the now somewhat defunct IS calipers this was a black art of facing the mounting points and shimming the caliper to perfection. The bonus was this was fixed position and not moved if you gave the caliper a hefty smack......unlike post mounts :)

Depending on mount type it might pay to have LBS face off the mounts so they are square and remove any paint, this does enable a bit more side to side adjustment for the caliper.

A Hayes Disc Brake Alignment tool is also a godsend for setting up disc brakes on postmount without rub. One of those tools you buy and wonder what you did without it 😀

@velosaurus not heard of them, is it a branded block of wood and small hammer :)

In purple too :)

Never seen them before :)

Thats it. Work well on hydraulics and also dual mechanical brakes like spyres.

Seems pointless.

Have to agree

Yeah, I didnt see the point until I got one.

Just ordered a shimano bleed kit and new pads for deore m596.
Never bled brakes before, is it as straightforward as the vids show or any hive mind pro tips?

Thanks, I did try to realign the caliper too but this didnt work

Maybe facing off the mounts would work but I'm a bit disappointed as its a new bike. Maybe I can abuse the warranty

Have you seen the Park Tool youtube channel?

Oh yeh, have used that previously when I’ve needed stuff. Cheers, will give it a watch.

If you've got the little funnel thing then just whack that on with some fluid in and pump the lever like fuck until all the bubbles are gone, good 3 or minutes so, tap the hose as you go. If you want to swap out all fluid, do that first then pump the lever like a twat after.

Yeah there’ll def be some twat pumpery going down.
Just acquired the bike so no idea how long the oils been in there so will do a full bleed. Front is mushy and rear squeals something fierce. Picked up some disc cleaner too.

Mineral oil doesn't really need swapping out as a regular thing like DOT but can't hurt if they're new to you. Probably good to get the pistons part out and cleaned while you're already dicking about, and give the pads and rotors a good sand and clean and proper bedding in.
