Rear wheel rubbing

Genesis Core 20

Hi,
My back wheel is not spinning freely, making a rubbing sound and then stopping quickly. I have hydraulic brakes (do they need adjusted?) and i think ive got a very slight buckle in the wheel from when i hit a curb quite hard. Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks very much.

Find out where it is rubbing first.

im pretty sure its coming from the brake caliper, do they need adjusted? Can i do this myself or is it a job for a bike shop?

if it is the caliper then yes. but check that your wheel is fitted correctly first.

or if the bike is new just go and ride it.

By yes, thats probably yes you can do it yourself, easy.
Loosen the calliper bolts, squeeze the brake to centre the callipers and tighten up the bolts.
