Worked. Thanks!
Thank you. I just purchased a new rotor becasue my last one was warped. I installed everything as should and i still hear some rubbing on the rotor. I tried your method on the breaks and i hope that will help. I have been trying to align this thing for 2 days now.
I did have an issue with that method. On one of my scoots the rear screw makes the caliper move toward the wheel as your tightening it. I used this method and wound up warping the disk with the caliper. A little sanding o the scoots arm and that issue was fixed. Luckily a 140mm disk is like 7 bucks
You must of really been running the wheel a lot in order for that to happen, sometimes it isn't perfect but it is best to evenly tighten down both screws at the same time. And if that doesn't work then sometimes holding the caliper and adjusting it slightly with your hands as you look down on to the rotor while making sure it's even when tightening down the screws works also. You have to make sure it's even, because you are right, it will move the caliper a bit if you only tighten one side down at a time. I've never warped a rotor at all by using this method. And it's the same method on all scooters. I'm at least glad you were able to get it to work.
Does Eagle one/2023 have bleed port on rear caliper? I filled with oil and pumped handle, still don't have dime stopping power after 20 kilometers use. Any ideas?
Unfortunately I don't have a version 2 yet, but to my understanding, they should. You generally have to take the Caliper off to get to it, and the fill plug for bleeding is generally on the bottom side of it. I will be putting up a short video tomorrow that will show a trick on how to get the air out of the lines the easy way for those that have bled the brakes but are still having issues.
Also, if you scroll through my channel I have a bleed brake video that will help you get more familiar with how the process works.
Worked. Thanks!
Nice glad it worked. It does take some practice and patience to get it just right
