As you can see in the thread name... I have a problem I am curently wednesday and Thursday I have a trainaing for a Clud and My front wheel can't turn... I tried to remove it and put it back but I think that it 's in the Disc brake or maybe somethings like that so I don't think that MY LBS would have enough time to look at it ... I looked at it a few times it seems that the rotor touchs the brake pad is it normal?? What should I do ?

Are your disc brakes hydraulic or mechanical (cable actuated)?

Have you checked to make sure your pads aren't too far in? Just take a screw driver and pry them apart then reinstall the wheel. If it spins then it is a brake issue. Now once the wheel is spinning hit the brakes a few times. Will the wheel spin now? If it spun before and not now then the brakes are sticking and you will have to check a few things on your own or take it to a shop.

Don't worry about it, your English is better than most of our french.

Dang, usually I can figure it out. Sorry man, I thought it was Canadian slang or something.

Can you get your wheel out of the dropouts or is it frozen there, clamped by the caliper?
