Hello,
I just got my new Specialized hardrock bike from my LBS and when I went on my first ride yesterday I noticed that my brake pad was rubbing on the wheel.
So when I got home I spun the front wheel, and indeed, the left brake pad stopped the wheel without me applying the brakes.
My question is, is there an easy way to fix this? I'm too lazy to put my bike in the car and take it back to my LBS. Could someone point me to some online resources to fix this?
PS: I looked in the manual provided with my bike but it is useless.
Thanks for your help,
Paul
