Anyone got any tips for doing this? I have become increasingly frustrated with this brakes, as they seem to require far too much adjusting to stop rubbing, or becoming spongy. I recently totally started over by undoing the cable, nuts and taking the calipers off the bike to reseat them on the bosses, and truing the disc. Everything was great with the bike upside down, with the wheel aligned properly, the quick release done up tightly, the calipers aligned well, the pads super close (but without touching at all as far as I could see or hear) and the levers/ cable tension feeling nice and tight. However as soon as I turned it over, there is an annoying rubbing noise, which sounds like there's a tiny violinist trapped in the calipers, playing a high pitched version of the tune from Jaws when the wheel is moved a couple of inches back and forth. What am I doing wrong??
