so I have a new Salsa Fargo with BB7 mechanical discs and new rotors
First time I rode it, it was kinda nasty out and I put about 24 miles of dirt, gravel, and road (not heavy-duty singletrack, but fire roads, gravel roads, and basically crud type of stuff)
when I got done, I could manually spin my front wheels and it sounded like the brake rotors were rubbing heavily on the rotors (kinda like a buck knife being sharpened on a stone)
now, it doesn't do that anymore, but the rear wheel still does it a little bit (i.e. manually spinning the wheel generates some of that noise) and I also notice that when I'm riding, if I lean heavily one direction or another (i.e. a turn) or when I stand and hammer (and the bike shifts side to side), I get a bit of that grinding sound.
Is that just the "new bike is settling in" type of thing? Is it because the wheels are flexing a bit under my weight (I'm about 255ish)? Is it just a natural thing or....what?
Any help greatly appreciated (as always)
