New Wheel & Disc Rotor, Rubbing on pads

Eyeballs

As the subject line really! Got a new front wheel & disc rotor after a prang resulted in my old one looking like a Pringle. The new one supplied by my LBS rubs on the pads once I tighten the QR up.

Is this something tweakable, or do I take the whole thing to the shop in the morning?

Cheers!

Look in the faqs, you need to centre the caliper.

You don't need a mechanic, you can do it yourself!

Thanks for the feedback, sorry to not check the FAQs first! I'm a bit of a noob!

I read and saw about the calliper need centreing- manned up & followed this guide, and after slacking off the mounting & applying the brake, I tightened back up & it's worked a treat. Learnt something new about cycle maintainence!

Thanks for the help.
