[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 151560, member: 4"] Gotta question for you... I bolded the above words that caught my eye: I just want to make sure you are NOT referring to the slight "drag" the caliper pads have on the rotors in routine operation. Because that is completely normal... the caliper pads lightly rest on the rotor surface even when not activated. If you lift the front wheel and try to spin it, you should hear a slight "hissing" sound as the pads gently ride on the rotor surface until the brake lever is squeezed. Just want to make sure we are NOT talking about that.... or are we? Cause if we are, you probably don't have a problem. But if you lift the front wheel and find that it takes undo force just to move the wheel, or the wheel doesn't spin at least a good revolution or so if you try to spin it hard, then I concur you have some brake issue here. At 33K, have you ever torn down the calipers to clean/inspect? [/QUOTE]
