    Just assembled my new beone bike. it comes with hydraulic disc brakes. Having put a few bikes together out of packaging before i knew id have to set up a few things first. However i have no idea what to do to set up the hydraulic brakes. Can anyone help me out or point me in the direction of what to do? The rotar discs are rubbing on the pads. All help is appreciated.

    what brand are the brakes? there should be an allen key adjustment which will move the caliper away from the disc (depending on the brand/model)

    Hey man,

    Give me a shout if you want me to drop over and give you a hand setting those brakes up.

    No worries dude,

    I'm away again from early tomorrow morning, but I can swing over this evening if you're stuck.
