I accident removed the inboard pad adjuster set screw and it came out along with a spring and bearing. This is on a Tektro Airies disk brake system. How do I get this reinstalled? I don’t see a place for the spring and bearing. I also heard that they may not be needed. I adjust se set screw to the rotor, backing off about 1/4 turn. No rubbing and brakes were good. I rode my bike for 106 miles with no issues. But noticed, the pad adjuster set screw was missing, meaning it came loose and fell out.

How do I distinguish whether it is the wheel or disc that needs truing? I put together a new Walmart Hyper Ebike with 700c wheels and mechanical brakes. You can hear the disc rub, but you can also see the wheel wobble. At first KZitem convinced me I have to true by going spoke to spoke, but I hadn't even thought of the disc being the culprit until I saw your video.

I tried all methods on my Shimano saint brakes with Hope Floating rotor and red Gaffer pads. First I tried to straighten the rotor by looking straight down at it. This worked rather well actually. I had just done service to the fork so the caliper was not in place. Once I was satisfied with how straight it looked, I braked with the lever and fastened the caliper in that position. This helped a lot, but.I still had some minor rubbing here and there. I couldn't be certain of which direction, even when I looked inside the caliper, so I just chanced it and straightened it in any direction. If the rubbing got worse I straightened it in the other direction. Lil' bit'll do ya!

@@parktool Thanks for the input, and you may be right. I have even had to straighten the Hope vented rotors, even though Park tools doesn't make the tool for such a big rotor. I just wanted to mix and match saint and hope parts to reduce the on and off feel of the saints. But after trying it today, the saints are too darn powerful to not have quite a lot of on off feel still. Could be the saint levers that pushes too much oil at once. I can try with XT levers and see how that feels. The Hope Tech 3 levers should be mounted on a harley davidson, being quite big and slow 2-finger levers. Hope uses DOT 4/5.1 and cant be mixed with shimanos mineral oil sadly.

u can do the alignment laying down the disc to smooth heavy metal then place a piece of wood 1x2 on top of the disc and try pounding it with a rubber hammer but not so hard, start with a light pounding going harder and harder as you examine the improvement.

It would be surprising if that worked, as it is hard to check the small tolerances needed against a flat surface. However, there is only one way to find out. The worst thing that will happen is you end up buying a new rotor.

pliers open on a hinge, so it's hard to hold the caliper steady and not grip it too tight, marring up the surface in the process. They can work in a pinch, but if you do your own maintenance (or use hydralic brakes) then getting the tool will save you a bit of a headache. Some brake rotors for downhill bikes are very expensive, and I'd hate to scratch a rotor that cost more then the brand new hybrid bike sitting in my kitchen.

Simple things like hash marks on rotors like the numbers he used or better viewing windows on calipers.Some kind of micro adjustment system would be great. So much time gets wasted truing and centering peoples jacked up disc brakes. These methods of truing and centering are down right archaic.
