My wheel does not spin freely and the brake rubs and slows my bike down. I have tried this video and it didnt work. WHat do i do now!?!?

I want to change my front rotor from a 160 mm to a 203, if I get any adapter that is for a 203 mm disk will it work or does it have to be specific for the type of brake system it is Tektro Auriga?

my wheel does not spin freely!!! i've been told there is always a little bit of drag with disc brakes.... surely thats not the case????

[LEEBRADLEY25]

you ever find the answer

[Yuri Boiblu]

i had this problem, found what causing it. it was my bent rotors. either fix it or replace it. else you may want to make sure your wheelsets are not bent. they all must be in parallel.

[Goldenn Ballpenn]

thanks for the video! Now I know how to change the breaks

[TheFiReel]

does this sharpen the brakes?

What's the worse that can happen if I mess up? I wanna fix them myself but then again I don't wanna mess up.

screw loose the screws beside the caliper ( i think it is two so the caliper is free to move) then you spin the wheel fast and see if the rotor is touching the caliper brake then if it does, you have to move the caliper a little bit on the other side so it's not touching. if the rotor is bent a little just screv loose the rotor and screw it on again. remember to screw the screw towards the screw if you do that. I had the same problem but im going to buy new hydralic braces bcuz i want more brake
