new wheels mounted
my favorite local dealership just installed my new Carrozzeria wheels. When i got home I put the bike up on the rear stand and spun the tire. It was very rough. It seemed like the rear rotor was rubbing the brake pads. It would spin normal through 1/4 of the rotation and be rough through 3/4 of the rotation.
Any thoughts on causes or concerns? Should I contact them first thing tomorrow?
Thanky you,
will post pics soon...looks incredible.

Ya, the wheel mount for the rotors could be uneven and may need to be ground or shimmed or, the rotors could be warped, common occurrence on the front, but not on the rear. Was the rotor correctly torqued down to the wheel?

some brake drag is normal me thinks, especially if the rotor is a little warped, place it(rotor) on a piece of glass or certified flat surface to see if it is straight, did it drag before?
