Anyone reading this, don't use this bodge as a fix.
Take the bike to a shop that will be able to fix it correctly.

Yeah like...swapping axles probably did two things
1) The new axle is stiffer and reduced fork flex somewhat.
2) The extra torque recentered the pads vs caliper.
The first part is fine...the second is dumb. All you have to do is center the caliper adequately.

I imagine it might be a problem if the fork is all carbon where the higher torque spec could compress the layers, causing the thru-axle interface to deform and crack.OnTheRivet wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 3:42 amExplain to me how this is wrong if he is torquing within the specs of the axle and it's fixing the problem?

It's worth checking the hub bearings and preload and if the fork has removable drop out interfaces, check these. If you have movement that's being reduced with 17nm of torque on the axle it's in these places (flex will account for some of it).
17nm might be ok for the axle but I'm curious to see if there's now drag in the hub.

finally someone! I've realized had the same identical rubbing even with pads removed! From then I've started centering whatever disc brake with the naked eye with best results.
Have to say can happens to hear a "vibration" sound beside than a "rub" sound, clearing a vibration because can happens even simple when steering fast right-left I mean without put any power. Also seems occurring more on the shimano ice-tech rotor or is the finned pads, by the way pretty sure is a vibration (same sound make the bike bouncing)
