Manual says loosening a couple of bolts it supposed to be for alignment.

Thought it might just be a natural thing.
I was just hoping I didn't have to go dousing my disks in metho already since they're only 2 rides old. If I have to clean them every second ride then they'd be more likely getting some kero and a match tan metho.
BTW, you fellas say metho's a good cleaner. But doesn't the rubbish they put in it these days to stop me drinking it leave a residue?
maybe its okay...the pad retractors on my Hopes work just barely enough to get no rub...not sure if the pad retractors are designed to retract 'em all the way on yours.
brake cleaner works good...no residue
