RS505 pistons
Hello, experts. Just replaced a set of pads on a 1 yr old caliper and cannot eliminate rub. The pistons seemed sticky, particularly on one side, so I cleaned them several times with the Q-tip and brake oil method and worked the pistons in and out quite a bit. There was improvement, but the pistons—I think it's both—still work themselves back out to about 1-2 mm proud after a few brake cycles and stay there. Brake works fine, otherwise.
Normal? Doing something wrong? Wrong pads?
