• Is anybody running Hope RX4 calipers? I've set them up with Apex AXS and they seem to work very well, but I just can't seem to prevent rub.

    The bleeding process was quite easy and I followed Hope's instructions to the letter. It just seems like the (new) pads just aren't far apart enough for the rotor. I made sure that the pistons were pushed in etc during the bleeding process, but still getting a very light rub front and rear. It's not too much of an issue as it really is very light, but still annoying. Do I just need to suck it up until the pads wear a bit?

    One thing I noticed is that the brakes clamp very early in the lever action. Can you bleed brakes too well?

  • embrace the rub

    also when you bled did you use the alu spacers that caliper comes with? IMO they are not wide enough, almost bleed with a screwdriver pushed against them so the pistons are flush inside the caliper

  • I'm going to give this another go - I used the spacers and pretty sure I pushed the pistons in, but perhaps not enough.
