I finally got round to fitting my MT7s.
After the big issue of the rear hose routing being blocked, the rest seemed like a walk in the park! I’ve never installed brakes of any kind before, so was a bit apprehensive. YouTube kept me right though.
I bought a bleed kit, and followed a YouTube tutorial, which was spot on. When I pull the levers now - they feel like there is plenty of stopping power behind them... so the bleeding must’ve gone well.
I also swapped the rotors over for the recommended Storm HC’s.
The rear is fine. No rubbing what so ever when I turn the wheel.
Shame I can’t say the same about the front. There is one part of the rotor that pretty much locks the wheel dead. The rotor doesn’t look bent - or didn’t when I laid it down on my kitchen worktop.
What’s the best way to fix this? I left the piston loose until the wheel was in place - then held down the lever when tightening up the piston. That’s always worked for the alignment of SRAM brakes in the past. Is there a trick to Magura?
