Hello everyone, I have a brake problem that I can’t solve. I had to change the front discs because they were warped. After changing and aligning the pads, the noise persists at the front: when I turn the handlebars, the disc touches the pads. And at the back, there is a noise every time I start off or pick up speed again. The brake levers are mushy. I tried to do a bleed and now I’m in a real bind; at the brake lever, no bleed adapter fits, the thread is too deep
. Also, the fork rebound is completely stuck; I had to take it apart for greasing and the part is damaged (even with the right wrench, the teeth are slipping). I’m limited to one photo ![]()
Hello, Thank you for sharing all these details about your bike issues.
Let’s break down some guidance for you:
- Front brake – disc rubs when turning handlebars This usually means the caliper mount or fork tabs have slight misalignment, or the axle is not fully seated. Double-check the axle is tightened properly, then re-center the brake caliper once the wheel is secured. You can refer to this adjustment video: https://youtu.be/ufuZDa3UHDg
- Rear brake noise on acceleration + spongy brake lever Spongy levers typically signal trapped air inside the hydraulic brake system. It is critical to use the correct bleed kit matching your brake model. If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, you can contact our support team for spare part replacement.
- Fork rebound stuck, stripped component If the internal rebound adjuster part has damaged teeth, this component needs replacement.
Since you can only attach one photo here, please email us at eu@cyrusher.com with more details, your bike model and order number, so we can confirm the exact spare parts you require.
Best regards,
