Trek DomaneResolving issues with a too small gap between pads on your disc brake is really simple if you follow my guidance in this short video. This problem occurs for different reasons. One of them is that after removing the wheel the brake lever on your hydraulic disc brake is accidentally engaged and pushes the pistons out. The other reason might be that the pistons' seals have expanded over time and don't allow the pistons in the brake caliper to retract. Thanks to this simple solution you will be able to push the pistons back into the caliper and create a bigger gap between the pads. This will allow you to refit the wheel with the disc brake back onto the bike.
