Hi all -
Apologies if this has been posted already, but I couldn't find anything in search - Anyway, I've got an older (four-pot) XT disc on the front of my trials bike, and the pad shifts around like crazy inside the caliper. I know that the brake isn't made for the repeated front-back-front force shifts from trials, but there's gotta be something I can do - I'm thinking about J-B welding a shim to the pad so It can no longer move around inside the caliper. Anybody else deal with this problem? I tried the trials forums, but no one seems to have used this specific disc brake before.
Thanks,
Jeremy
