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?
