    Good afternoon folks,

    I've just replaced the valves on the wheels of my 125cc scooter and when I've put the wheels back onto the scooter, the front disc brake now rubs like hell and makes some odd noises.

    Is there a way to adjust the brake to stop the rubbing? It worked fine before the wheels were taken off.

    if it was fine before then its something you've done..recheck the assembly, make sure theres no spacers missing or that they're in the right place

    yeah i would say youve put a spacer in wrong or something, also check that the pistons move in and out freely, lots of bikes get dirt on the piston, which then sticks and causes the brakes to stay on
