Also do not put anything but the correct fluid near your brakes. Get some of the correct dot fluid and use a cue tip and rub around the pistons. Then cycle them that can help free sticky pistons.
Thanks, bought some dot 5.1 which is arriving tomorrow so will give it a good clean.
Wouldn't have thought to use any rubbing alcohol afterwards, thanks @seraph for the tip. Would white spirit work? (Don't have any rubbing lcohol to hand)
I tried the card trick, didn't completely solve the issue but will give it another go, not convinced I had it on the correct side.
Yes they are probably only sold with resin compatible discs from the factory. The caliper doesn't really care about what pad you are running.
There are differences in the amount of heat that is transferred to the caliper depending on your brake pad material. Sintered allow more heat into the caliper and organic insulate it but tend to heat up the rotor more.

thanks man. but the rotor spec sheet says metal pads are fine
Just curious if anyone has had an issue with 29er rims. I had a raceface one fold underneath me today and I bought it yesterday. Manufacturing defect or 29er problems.

sounds like a bad wheel build or you're riding it way beyond what it was intended for.
A 622 mm rim (29er) plus tire is about 5% larger than a 584 mm (27.5") and 10% larger than a 559 mm (26"). This creates more stress on the wheel, but not a huge amount more.
Most current wheels have "Boost" hub spacing, which is wider than the typical spacing on 559 mm wheel. If the hub is properly designed to take advantage of the extra width, the 622 mm wheel should be similar in strength.
As Nobble said, the problem is likely a mismatch between your equipment and your riding style or poor assembly. If properly assembled, a strong 622 mm rim with thick spokes, a high spoke count, and hubs with wide flange spacing will produce a wheel strong enough for almost any rider.

It was a raceface arc 30 rim which is intended for dh eebs and enduro. It was a very small hit mid trail and the rim folds underneath me causing me to go over the bar and lose 100% felling in my genital area. I was running a three cross spoke pattern, brass spoke nipples, dt swiss spokes and dt swiss 240s hubs as well as a 2.3 wide tire, setup tubeless with 42 PSI. I assume it is a manufacturing defect considering all my buddies run 29ers and beat the shit out of them with no issues. Ill see what I can get done with warranty. I know raceface has a quite good warranty
Considering I rode down two and a half trails. and the rim was feeling amazing. Also to add the joint has separated on one side and there are two other massive cracks. I can attach some pictures if you would like.
