The Canyon has a carbon post. Given it's rated for heavier than I am, I don't worry too much about it.

Position should be the same, but fractions of millimeters count here. If you want to test them, I'd go ahead and center the calipers on them, using the business card trick, and then see if you still get rub.

Do I spy a 5 speed?

Same

Does your friend have hills or a sprint that might be cause of concern?

:innocent:

It's a mystery why anyone lives there.
Childhood favourite?

Superfantastic! Then I can use the Sram housings that came with the shifters. That noncompresable shiz is pricey

Never worried about a carbon post

I’d try it both ways, it sounds to me like you’re describing wheel flex that’s making the rotor ping

This weekend’s “race”

https://www.strava.com/routes/2954800741709751144

This is only about 20 miles of dirt that’s pretty well groomed. All of the major climbs are dirt which add some challenge. One of them last year I spun out and had to get off and walk, hopefully wider tires and better gearing will fix that. Believe it hits ~18% in a few places. Last year was 28s with 36/30 as lowest gear and this year will be 32s with 31/34.

pretty excited and have no real expectations, just do it for fun.

And, that’s within the first 6 months.

Same.

Whew. Punchy. Have fun!

Here's where that 2/5 mm comes in handy.

Time to ride. Today will explore the Blue Ridge Parkway South of Asheville.

If a closet door is sticking, you don't try a different door - you make sure that the hinges are tight, that the frame is plumb and that the door is square. Everything else is a shot in the dark and a waste of time when the basics haven't yet been addressed, IMO.

If there's no rub in the stand but there's rub on the road, that obviously means that there's a change in relative position between the rotor and pads. The rotor is bolted to a solid, machined hub. The hub is being held in place by a ~1/2" thick axle. The axle is fastened in to the dropouts and there's only a couple inches of carbon fork between the axle and caliper - there's virtually no room for movement if everything is secured properly. If things aren't secured properly and if things aren't quite square and true, you get problems like you're getting.

Make sure your rotor is true and properly tightened. Make sure your calipers are centered and aligned. Make sure you're consistently tightening the thru-axel. If you can't consistently tighten the TA because if its design, get a Robert axle and use a torque wrench. Done and done.

This. There should be enough clearance in the caliper and enough range in the positioning to fix anything but bad rotor runout.

Have you taken a plastic tire lever and pressed your pistons in and then made sure they're retracting?

I have. The rotor has a slight bent in it. However, spinning in the bike stand with a white sheet of paper behind it there is plenty of clearance and it doesn’t rub, when I ride it sitting down 75 percent of the time it doesn’t rub. When I stand it’s a constant rub. The skewer is as tight as I can make it.

sounding like a new axle and new rotor. I’m just super skeptical that’s going to fix the problem. And furthermore how the hell do my rotors keep getting bent?

keep coming east. I’m on 6 hours by car.

*Every* rotor has a bit of runout now and then. You don't need a new rotor - we've covered this. Find the "high" spot on the rotor, slip an adjustable wrench over it, give it a little tweak.

If the rotor is a Shimano IceTech, which is an steel and aluminum sandwich, it's not going to take much at all. If it's a solid steel rotor, you may need to bend it a little beyond true so that it springs back in to a more true position.

Jump to the 3min mark or so, if you're impatient -

I'm no expert, and did not inspect the car closely, but it appears to be a Series 2 car with 5-speed conversion.

I just enjoy their beauty. I've never had the chance to drive, or even sit in, one.
