Disc brake alignment

[roubaixtuesday]

Brakes rubbing front and rear after son borrowed and promptly crashed newish mtb.

Never had discs before, re aligned by loosening Allen bolts, hold brake on, then re tighten with brake on.

Seemed to work. Is this the correct procedure?

I've only had experience with my own Avid BB7 brakes but that's the method they advise when setting the brakes up.

That is the way I do it, seems to work for me.

The only part of the procedure you missed was the clip around the ear for your son, or at a minimum making him clean the bike properly.
