Rubbing on front disc...easy to sort out?

[cokrobin]

HI, I've noticed that my front wheel is rubbing on the disc as it turns. It's probably not very healthy, so could someone tell me how I can adjust it (if u can) to try and stop this happening? Also, if it is possible, just how easy it is, as I'm no mechanic. Although I have managed to change the oil, which is a bit of a miracle. Thanks.

Hydraulic disc brakes will usually rub a little bit because they do not fully retract. The same thing happens on automobiles too.

I'd like to hear what the dealer has to say dmilo. At the moment the bike does feel a little wobbly when braking with front brakes. not sure if this is why or some other reason I should be REALLY WORRIED ABOUT!

That might mean your front disc is warped. On automobiles you can have a new surface turned, but in your case you may need a new disc. Good Luck!

I've got the same thing on a Boatian BT50QT-11. Did anyone manage to fix theirs or is it just a case of having to live with it?

I has the same problem, it stoped nearly straight away after hand spinning and also when i braked a large squeak noise can be heard

i to am having this problem and find it hard to spin it by hand, has anyone found a way of sorting it out, because it must slow you down a bit???
