I noticed that your front brake is mounted with just one of those thick ridged washers between the fork and the caliper. When I did that my front brake pads were touching the fork so I went to my lbs and got another washer just like it that moved it away from the fork a bit further. Do your pads contact the front fork?
Hey JF1, Nope, no contact. I did have to line the pads up with the rim of course, but everything else is working fine.
If I just had a tire and some air! Oh well, supposed to rain here for the next few days due to the latest superstorm. That will give me some time to doublecheck everything.
