I'm running Hayes HFX9 HD's with 8" rotors atm and I can't get them running perfectly without some slight rubbing on the pads each rotation. I've tried adjusting the caliper mounting until they're as spot on as seems possible, and the geeza that sold me the bike suggested I try putting thin cards between the rotors and pads for a while and giving the occasional squeeze on the lever -- which I've tried -- but I still can't get 'em perfect.
Am I being a bit too anal? Is a slight bit of rub to be expected on 8" rotors?
The bike and brakes are brand new btw, but I've been giving the rig a good thrashing over the past couple of weeks so I figure everything should be broken in fine by now.
