Preventing Disc brake rubs after reinstalling
What is the proper way of installing the front wheel with a disc brake back on the bike and not having any rubbing or squeak sound afterwards? Reason for asking is that I have three mountain bikes that has disc brakes which rub or squeaks each time I remove them for transportation and install them back on. All three of the bikes does the same thing which tells me this problem is not bike specific (but possibly the person who is installing the wheel and that"s me).
I tried adjusting the quick release nut the best I can where I can see the disc is closer to the fix pad and there is no deflection of the disc when I apply the brakes. Problem is that after about 5 miles or so, they will usually make rubbing or squealing noise which gets irritating. So far I tried anywhere from a loose to tight tension on the quick release but with no luck. I also flip the bike upside down when I install the wheel assuring the wheels are straight and all the way in the forks. These pad are not worn because the bikes are less than a year old and they are broken in with over 300 miles each. Is there something I am doing wrong? Please do not suggest not removing the wheels because there are certain place I park my cars after my ride where it is not safe to put it on the trunk rack or a hitch mount. For that reason is why I remove the wheel and leave the bike in the car. All I can say is thank God my road bike don't have disc brakes.
FYI, the bikes are Novara Float, Novara Piedra and Specialized Hardrock disc.
