Hi guys,
When I am not braking, it sounds like my brake pads are gently rubbing my rotor a little. It is not having much of an effect on my ability to roll, but it just makes a little noise. Is there an easy way to adjust this like on a bicycle? Thanks for the help

Mine is exactly as you've described also. It's no big deal. If it gets to where it affects rolling stops or just rubbing in one high spot is where it can get to be a problem.

Sounds good, hopefully after some use it will stop then. Luckily it is all around, nothing warped. Was not too worked up about it but you two put me at ease. Thanks

So what happens if the rubbing doesnt stop? mine has never been quiet, and it bothersome.

They all do it. DIsc brakes don't have a mechanism to retract the pads back off the rotor. They will gently rub alittle. I was worried about mine, but I learned its all good and normal.
