front disc rubbing

gthang

Hi, Got a new bike with Oro K18. The front rotor is rubbing on the outside pad , can hear a scraping when spinning the wheel. The is no visible gap between the outside pad and rotor. When the brake leaver is pulled I can see the disc move very slightly towards the hub.

The thing is the bike is brand new, (due to cold, wind and snow since Friday I have not been out yet ), will this correct itself when the brakes bed in? or should I take back to the shop for correct adjustment. I did not spot this when I collected the bike.

PS the back brake is fine.

Any thoughts or advice would be most welcome

yes it will but if you want just realign it.

Thanks nick, I have downloaded the instructions from Oro website, but nothing in there about realigning, do you know any websites I can read how to do this?

Mainly just out of interest, I will ride the bike and give chance for bed in before I start messing.

Look for the instructions to install them. The procedure should basically be loosen the bolts on the calliper, pull the brake level then re tighten the bolts.
