Front disc brake caliper mount rubbing against rotor

[Ispeed_V]

Morning tech gurus

 

I have recently upgraded my front fork to a Fox Evolution and on fitting the brake caliper, I have noticed that the top mount is rubbing against the rotor when then wheel is fitted.

 

Am running Mavic Crossrides.

 

Any ideas or solutions would be welcome.

 

Thanks

Remove your brakes. They just slow you down...........

Set up issue?

Pic?

yes, agreed: a photo please.

Will take a photo this evening and post it tomorrow

What hubs? If a cone based hub then it is possible to re-align the disc and hub further away from the brake mounts. Otherwise you may need to use a brake post facing tool...but first : I presume you have fitted new pads and correctly retracted the brake caliper pistons on both sides?

Sounds like you need to just loosen the caliper mount a bit and line it up correctly then lock it in place.

 

But ya a pic would help.

Assuming the pistons are working equally you may, as JXV said, need to face the the mounts on the new fork.  If it is catching on the "arch" of the caliper, a shim between the fork and caliper may be enough.

Not the best photo but hope you can see.

where's the contact point in the photo?

 

maybe i'm seeing things, but that rotor looks warped.

Is it a constant rub? Or a rub every few cms on the rotor?

[Maximis]

I had a similar issue, took the wheel off, checked the rotor, put back on and then adjusted the thru axle, sometimes if too tight it can affect the wheel alignment therefor affecting the rotor clearance in relation to the mounts. I know it's more common with quick releases but it worked for me and I have a thru axle.

adjust the caliper, undo the bolts slightly and wiggle it till it does not touch anymore, the retighten

Okay can't see anything in that pic... where is the contact?

[Capricorn]

what Chrone said, but here's the missing bit: once the caliper is loosened a bit, spin the wheel. Hit the brake. Spin the wheel again. If it sounds like there's no rubbing, hit the brake again, but hold the lever down. Then tighten the caliper bolts, and release the brake lever. self-alignment works most times.

Thanks guys. Will try the different options and see what works best
