However, the next step on disc brakes would have been to clean off the rotor with rubbing alcohol or similar. That can actually help with rim brakes as well, in terms of getting any contamination off the rim. | |

I would think a lot of those readers these days will actually have disc brakes, but may have never heard of bedding in disc brakes so it's good to cover this essential process (there's a modicum of ambiguity in the question anyway) | |

| May 15, 2021 at 19:55 | comment | added | Swifty | This sounds like the procedure for bedding in disc brakes, while I think the original question is about rim brakes, because it mentions 'caliper brakes', i.e. rim brakes for road bikes. So I think it doesn't apply to OP, but it would certainly help someone reading this, trying to fix the same problem on disc brakes, so +1 | |
