• That's a good tip, thanks. At the moment, I'm advancing the pistons a tiny bit without wheel in bike, to get the pads a bit closer to the rotors. But when pads wear, distance get tiny bit bigger and I have to re-advance the pistons a bit all over and over again.

    Am I correct that with overfilling, I get the same result, but with the difference that distance between pad and rotor will remain the same regardless of pad wear?

  • Anything like that you do will be temporary. The self-adjustment will only kick in when the lever travel is back to normal, and is determined by the design of the piston seals.

    (there's a business opportunity for aftermarket short reach piston seals, if anyone enjoys setting fire to money)
