    Disk brake adjustment?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    On my rear disk brake (Hayes mechanicals), the inner pad is ever so slightly rubbing the disk causing a squealing sound. It isn't dragging, per se, only touching just enough to produce the squeal.

    Is it possible to adjust the centering of the pads?

    Thanks!

    Must remember that line, it's a good one.
    Now if I can just figure out what meal "breaskast" is
