Hayes Problems HELP!!!!

[adee_1210]

I'am new to disc brakes, ive been having those age old rim brakes for too long and I'am upgrading my bike. Only I have an issue! as I'am diving right into it disc brakes I have purchased the Hayes HFX-9 Carbon F & R and I can't get the idea behind the super tight brake pads I cant fit the disc rotor so it sits in nicely or when I manage to prise them open and I get the wheel moving round mounted on the fork and pull on the brake lever they jam tightly and the wheels stops whats goin on? are they supposed to be so tight? or is there something in the manual that I didnt get with them that states I have to adjust something please help!!

I don't know if this is the same as you but my pads were pressing against the rotor, anyway I took the wheel off and I kinda popped the pad back in place, I can't really explain what happened but yeah. You should probably post this thread in a forum more related to your topic like "bicycle mechanics".
