I have Juicy 5's. The other day I took rear wheel out to fit a rack, bike upside down. Brakes front and rear were spot on. On putting the rear wheel back in, found that disc wasn't slotting between pads at all, no space. Opened pads out ever so slightly with a flat head screw driver and slotted disc in ok. Afterwards however the rear brake was hard on, no give. I loosened the nut on the lever end ever so slightly and lost a very small amount of brake fluid, which eased the brake issue, but now there is a touch too much movement at lever end, until pads engage with disc.
I've tried adjustment at lever end. Is it a case of bleeding and re filling you think? Cheers
