Hey!
So my brakes were rubbing against the tire, and to eliminate that I re-adjusted the brakes, worked great. But slight problem, the brakes are very loose, loose enough that it won't stop the tires at all! Unless it is spinning in the air, it will take around 5 seconds to stop the spin. My brakes were very very firm and working fine before that. I did wiggle the disc brake around to stop the rubbing and to re-adjust the brakes, so they don't touch. But usually the brakes would automatically adjust after a few pumps.

Also my brakes feel loose everytime I put the bike upside down, and i did this while it was upside down so I thought it would be fine, but it hasn't changed since.

Any help would be good !

If problem is in need of a bleed, could you state why it needs to bleeded?
Thank you!
