| Took everything down today - wheel, shims, calipers, pads....
Cleaned everything well, and the calipers yes were full of crap.
Reassembled everything right using the right procedure and the right torque values.
Well, the bearings are definetly fine.
The Pads are still with life left.
The brakes are working properly, but still after everything was cleaned, greased and properly reassembled, the pads are sticking a little bit on the discs. Now is better that the other day and I guess a little bit the pads/discs are touching anyway ... Of course with no calipers the wheel is turning like a bycycle wheel, perfect, but with calipers and pads on is a different story.... Just for curiousity, with the bike on the front stand, with one hand spin no big effort, how many revolution can the wheel do?
