New rotors aren't always true.

If the inner pad is constantly rubbing, adjust it away from the rotor.
Turned it quickly, watched and listened, and turned it slowly, watched and listened. Also, before installing, I laid it flat on a clean flat surface.

The rubbing is not intermittent, but constant. I've pin-pointed it to the bottom of the inboard pad. So I've gone back to the manual and repeated steps 7-9. I have also attempted steps 7-9 with a business card between both pads and rotor, as well as with a business card between just the offending pad and rotor. Unfortunately, it is still rubbing in the same spot. edit: Top of outboard pad rubs as well. Can't get it to no rub without there being almost-zero tension.

Speed Dial levers?
BB7 Mountain or BB7 Road?

The red dial on a Speed Dial lever changes the amount of cable that the lever pulls and how the brake feels.
Speed Dial. Sorry, I typed the above message when I was about to leave. Typo. Hah.
Mountain.

For the lever dial, clockwise = tighter cable, correct? This should only be adjusted during installation, right?

edit: Now the lever and brake arm don't fully return after being depressed.
