I’ve recently installed new brake pads on my bike, all good. They are disc brakes. After a week they were too loose, thought it was because they were new, so readjusted them. A week later and I have to readjust them again. I only cycle about 70km per week. Before the pad replacement I didn’t have to do it so often.

Is it still because they’re new or am I forgetting something? Thanks.

    Thanks for the detailed post! Much appreciated.

    I watched Park Tools before, very good. I now remember that I wasn’t able to use the inner adjuster knob when the caliper is mounted, because then it sits 1cm next to the electrical motor. I had to remove the caliper, adjust that bolt, then put it back in. It works, but not ideal.

    I think I’ll take it to a mechanic. I use the bike on a long hill, so definitely need my brakes to work.

    Thanks again heaps.
