Brake problem

Posts: 101
Im hoping you guys may be able to give me an idea about whats happening with my brakes, and what i can do to sort it.
If i spin the front wheel, after a few seconds it will stop as if the brakes are slowly stopping it. Also i can hear it rubbing when pushing it along.
Im sure its something simple, but to a simpleton nothings simple
Thanks in advance for any help.

Probably just need realigning - but check the rotor isn't bent.0

Is realigning something i could do myself?0 -
Yes..undo the 2 bolts that bolt the calliper to the mounts just enough so you can wobble the caliper.Spin the wheel and apply brake,keep the lever pressed and re-tighten the bolts....calliper re-alligned 8)0

Just as you said that i saw it in the manual. Thanks for the reply, i'll give it a try in the morning now 0 -
Find out where the 'wobble' in the rotor is and push it back the other direction with a bit of finger pressure. Seriously. It's always worked for me on my Juicy Carbon's. Worst case scenario go out and buy a new rotor.0
