I'm not getting into a pissing match with you, Jason, just stating facts.

Reefing on the levers too hard can break an Avid caliper. Period.

Secondly, performing youR technique (which works great for a two-piston hydro, by the way) either flexes the rotor, or more likely, "centers it" flush against the inboard pad. This procedure in no ways centers the rotor between the pads.

Not to mention it is completely unnecessary when you have independent inboard and outboard pad adjustments that will accomplish the same thing, without the stress on the caliper arm.

So again, stick with Avid's setup instructions.
