Didn't get much of a response to this from the "Mechanics" thread. Anyone here have any thoughts?
I'm having an interesting experience with my disc brakes. Sometimes, for no easily apparent reason, they make a kind of scraping sound. If I re-adjust the wheel and quick release, it might go away--or sometimes it turns into a kind of cat-like howl when the wheel turns. Then if I go through the process of undoing the quick release, putting the wheel back in the dropout and tightening the quick release, the sound may disappear. There must be a more intelligent way to solve this than by my half-assed trial and error method. By the way, they are Magura Julie's. In the stopping power department, they've been fine.
Thanks for your help!
