Front brake dragging

Pete7874 · 06-28-2010, 12:18 PM

It seems like the front brake is dragging a little... when in neutral and I push the bike, I can distinctly hear hissing/metallic rubbing noise from the front... sounds like the brake is not fully release. Is there some adjustment on the caliper that can be made to push the pads a little away from the disc or is this normal?

I haven't been able to lift the front wheel yet to see how bad it really is. I'd need to find a way to elevate the front end to do this...
