Hello, I need some help. I have disc Brakes and I am having a problem with the rotor rubbing *Grinding* onto the caliper on the very top. I thought it was the rotor was untrue but it is literaly grinding into the metal of the caliper. how can i fix this?

If it's hitting the top of the caliper, and the caliper is a post mount type caliper (possibly with an IS adapter), then you can just use some very thin spacers between the caliper and adapter to space it up a bit.

I am a newbie to this so the Caliper is mounted to the front fork. I think I may just take it in to the LBS and see what they think...

Is the caliper mounted directly to the fork? Or is the caliper bolted to an adapter (which is bolted to the fork)?

What brakes do you have?

mounted directly to the fork, theres 2 mounting brackets right on the fork for the bolts to go into holding the calipers. the brakes are Promax and thats about all I know, I am not sure of a model or anythingt, they came on my bike. the bike is a Mongoose Blackcomb if that helps any. I wish I knew more about the stuff. There is no adapter, the brakes are just bolted onto the fork using the 2 mounting holes that are on the fork its an RST fork.

I think I got it! I took the caliper assembly off the bike and put it back on, then I tried something else, i tightened my quick release one more turn it was really hard to lock, but after I did that the disc was not rubbing on the caliper anymore! now I just have to true the rotor some to get it from rubbing on the outter pad and I'm good to go!
