Hi, Guys and Gals,
I've had an annoying ticking sound from the front wheel of my bike which has hydraulic disc brakes, for ages. I'm not that experienced in cycling but dont want to go back to the dealer.
So my first thought was the pads were worn, and I fitted new ones, same problem. Then I thought my disc (rotor) could be warped and thought about replacing it. Then I realised, when I swapped out the perfectly good pads for the new ones, I'd not aligned the caliper. I did a few searches and came up with a Park Tool video that sorted my problem. Many of you may know this, but I didnt, it's such a simple fix.
