    had a new disc and what i thought were pads there the wrong ones so ima send em back but as the old pads were fine i slapped them in in stead the break worked perfect with the skanky disc .

    i took the calliper off looked at pads and theres plenty of life in em so left them masked it painted them and put new disc on .

    coz the old disc was thiner the pads wunt fit over this one SO lol i forced them aprt and the right pot went all the way to the base and wouldnt pop back out .i bled the brake and tapped it and eventualy it came out .but now when i put the breaks on while the bike is still they stay on permenantly .

    also the disc seems to get stiff at a certain point in its rotation i assume this is because the pads arent evenly worn .


    do you think the jamming and stiffness will go away wen im moving and the brakes are being used and lossened up and when the pads have worn tos this disc
