After waiting over a month for an 'lbs' (i live in rural Texas and it's a two hour drive) to do some maintenance including replacing brakes and a tuneup i decided to learn to fix more problems at home.
Different rotors from different brands have micrometer differences but it's enough to run and squeak if you don't reset the pads. I tried using credit card shims , moving the pad mounts, but nothing was 100% effective. A friend said they had the same issue and the lbs they used told them but the park tool. He said it worked wonders so i bought my own. First try NO SQUEAK!
Have used it on my other bikes and it is the most consistent fix for rubs I've encountered. If your rotor has warping issues it won't fix that, you may need a truing tool if it's even fixable.
A cheap addition to your workplace that can save you headaches and cash when pads and rotors last longer.
This is one of those tools that has non-dedicated alternatives that work, but don't work as well. While you could probably use a big screwdriver, this is an easier and probably safer way to do it. Why risk damaging expensive brakes when a dedicated tool is available and affordable?
