You must of squeezed the brake lever accidentally.
You shouldn't do this on hydraulic brakes without a rotor or spacer in the calliper.
It's a easy fix with a flat head screwdriver or a knife, you simply have to prise the pads apart.
I got the bike back in my car by keeping it on the roof of the car.
Now the moment I got the bike off the roof and on the ground the real brake got jammed and was not moving freely.
I went to the station again and they fixed it, same thing happed when I took the bike of the roof this time.
I just dont understand what is wrong, does this mean a bike with hydraulic disc brakes cannot be kept horizontal..!??!?!
For the horizontal part I don't know.
