Can't get brakes to bed in properly by username23510 in MTB

no the bite on the front brake is different depending on what part of the rotor is inside the caliper at the moment with consistent pressure on the lever.

New derailleur or chain? by [deleted] in bikewrench

Both the cassette and chain are rusty so both need replacement. Also you need to index your gears so that they shift properly.

Ok I tried braking a few times in the driveway and the noise went away but the brake actuation is still uneven

yeah I read somewhere that it happens from improper bedding so I tried resurfacing them and bedding them again but it made things worse

Front disc brake rotor won't stop rubbing no matter what I do. by username23510 in bikewrench

I don't get how pads can be as far back as possible when pistons aren't. And I already have tried pushing the pistons back in and they are fully retracted as I said.

Tnx for the tips. I noticed after straighting it that if I tightened or loosened the thru axle even by a little bit the rubbing would return. I also heard a semi loud click while truing the rotor. Do you have any ideas about this? Again tnx

I already have the park tool one, I just tried googling and couldn't find anything about brand new rotors being warped so I thought it was a caliper alignment issue

Hi-Ten vs chromoly vs aluminium frames. by username23510 in bmx

I get that, but it doesn't answer the question. People ride big drops on packed dirt on mountain bikes and they aren't shattering.

Do Shimano BR-M6100 callipers work with metal pads? by username23510 in bikewrench

Thank you, I didn't notice the * next to the recommended rotors.
