On the stand the rear wheel runs freely, but something must be occasionally rubbing on the rear rotor, right in the middle about where the bolts of the caliper would be.
I notice the rear caliper is not centered on the rotor : too far in (wheel side piston pushed out much more than the outside piston) and the caliper mount is very close to the rotor. So I'm wondering if I have the mount spacers/bushing mounted backwards on the rear wheel axle.
I have now the larger one against the swing arm and the smaller one against the wheel - rationale being that the larger one would provide larger area against the alu swing arm.
On the part drawing (here part #40 and #38), looks like it should be the other way around. I can see how that would move the caliper mount further away from the wheel and therefore better center it the rotor, but wouldn't the smaller bushing area 'hurt' the swing arm ?
