Before beginning the caliper alignment process, it is
important to check other components that could effect
your brake adjustment are set correctly.
Ensure that the wheel is fully seated in the drop outs. This,
in turn, ensures that the rotor is properly positioned in the
caliper.
Elevate the bike, spin the wheel and inspect the rotor in
the caliper. If the rotor shows a lot of lateral movement,
it can be difficult or impossible to adjust the pads to not
rub. The rotor will need to be trued or replaced.
Turn the barrel adjusters all the way counterclockwise at
the lever and at the caliper if applicable.
Check that the lever arm is released and in its relaxed
position by loosening the cable pinch bolt. This ensures
full lever arm travel during braking.
Pull the cable tight so it is free of slack and tighten the
cable pinch bolt.
Be careful not to move the lever arm when tightening the pinch bolt.
This is important because the lever arm only has a small amount of
useful motion.
