Rob2002 No, no one did, however, the time I spend and resources I put out such as hosting the how-to on fixing others problems and answering questions and the three or four paragraphs I write to help others takes a damned more effort than a 8 word response and ZERRO help you provided since you arrived here. There is a big difference in helping others and running your mouth I think, when you start doing that respond back ...Just wondered.
When I read your 292 posts (real easy to do) of everything you wrote since you got here; you expertise concentrates on such subjects as: how much you would spend on boots, buying a ½ helmet, and having a sticky cable. I have read everyone of them and not one have given any advice to help anyone, offered no positive input except for your shoulder bolt is too long on a Tourpack detach kit.
What do you have to say now, lets hear it, more negative posting or are you actually going to offer someone else help or are you to selfish or unable to do anything more than to ask others for help? You picked the wrong member here cupcake.

Ok, then, now that is over (hoping), yes, some drag is normal because the brake pads don't retract off the rotor. It should not be much. I haven't had my new brakes apart, but in the ol' days of ridin' the shovel, we used to buy springs that fit over the pad pins, pushing the pads outward after the pressure was released. When I change my pads on my new one I will be looking to make this adjustment again if I can figure a way.

My impression was always that they had to "ride" on the disk. If not, there would be a delay in braking between the time you grab the lever and the pads contacting the rotor. Every disk brake I have seen is like that and I have seen a few.

I respect the right to your own opinion and thank you for your evaluation on my value as a forum member. I respectfully disagree with you and will loose no sleep. Calling me names on the other hand seems a bit childish. (my opinion) And here is another fact. The quote above is the most negative post I have read in a very long time. Congratulations. I'm going to sign off now so if you would like to continue your attack, feel free. I won't be reading it. I'll go one step further and try to keep off your forum. I have no intrest in this nonsense.

Hey......Thanks FastHarley for the link to the tips and tricks.....a lot of useful info...saved it to my bookmarks.....BTW....The search feature on this forum is a great tool and granted it should be utilized way more than it is.....there are a lot of repeat questions and it is very redundant to read them. Hopefully in the future more members will use the search feature to help them with their questions.
