My LX rear and previous front only required about 1/4 inch pull to lock up the wheel, please tell me vee brakes are not superior to disc, I will just break down and cry. Oh, the rotor is NOT warped, I assume I am not aligning the caliper correctly, it is slightly twisted and causing the disc to rub in certain parts. Help me before I burn my bike.
Remove the rotor and reinstall tightening the bolts in a star pattern like so:

try it and get back to us
