My rear brake makes a terrible sound and vibrates reeeeeeeeally badly when i brake while going fast, about 15mph and up. The thing makes the whole damn bike vibrate. I heard deores take a while to break in, but its been about 25-30 miles and it hasn't stopped. Do I have a problem or am I just impatient? Any help would be appreciated

I think you might be impatient, but I'd take it back and have the mechanic look at it. You may have something screwy going on. Can't help you without looking at the bike.

You just bought it right? Should be NO CHARGE!

yeah but the bike shop i go to is shady so if it is possible i would like to do something myself. If the caliper and rotor are misaligned would it make the whole damn bike vibrate?

Not really...but if something is loose (a bolt for example) it will definately shake.

sound slike brake shudder which can be due to misalignement or loose mounting bolt.
