I'll try to explain.
When I pull the lever on my mechanical disc brakes to use the front brake, the outer (moveable) pad moves in towards the rotor and touches the rotor, as I continue to squeeze the lever the pad is pushed further inwards obviously, bending the rotor slightly more until the rotor comes into contact with the inner (stationary) pad, at which point the rotor is now clamped between outer and inner pads.
Its gotta be normal operation if one pad doesn't move right?
