I have a problem with my Trek Crossrip with trp Hy/rd in teams of centering the brake.
I have a allen key skewers on the bike and when I remove the wheels I need to recenter the brakes, every time.
The problem is when I tighten the skewer the disc moves to one side of the caliber but only when I tighten the skewer.
The wheel is centred and I see the rotor in the middle of the caliber but like I said the moment when I tighten the skewer the rotor is no longer centered.
Someone know what could be causing that?
I'm not familiar with "allen key skewers". Are they the skewers that were stock with the bike?
[MENTION=421412]wschruba[/MENTION] gave you good advice about ensuring that the axle is fully seated every time to install the wheel. Even then, I've found that some QR skewers may not hold the axle strongly enough to prevent it from creeping once the brakes are applied. Older-style "internal" cam QR skewers (metal cap where the lever enters on one side) are more secure than "external" cam skewers (have a larger lever that is the cam). I don't know whether "allen key skewers" are more or less secure.
This problem is one of the big issues encouraging the use of through-axles with disc brakes, like on Trek's Crockett and Boone forks.
Also, you should center the brake calipers on the rotor only when the skewers are fully tightened, because that's the riding/operating position.
