wait, you're doing all of this posting while you're supposed to be paying attention in school??
uhhhh no they gave us school computers to take home, and i dont have school today
just looked at pic, wondered what the world has come to
GTG i am gonna go for a ride, to see if the rubbing gets worse
ok never mind, it is in my storage and i can find any keys
@commencaldh: In case you haven't figured it out, most of these clowns are just giving you shit instead of trying to help. Take the bike back to the shop and get them to help you diagnose the problem.
hey, I tried to help and quickly was told I wasn't helping.
then I tried to help again ... and again ....
the moral of this story kids? never try.

I would guess caliper alignment is your problem, if you haven't already exhausted that as the possibility.
If the brake wasn't rubbing before, with the same wheel, fork, and brake, something has changed that should now by made to work again.
There are two bolts holding the caliper on. Loosen slightly and you can slide the caliper around. If you apply the brake with the bolts loose, the caliper should self-center. Sometimes you need to adjust from this position a hair,
Next thing to look for, in my opinion, is a piston seal in the caliper. If one is bad, it may not be retracting fully after brake application, leading to rub.

thanks for the help, it turns out the rotor is not circular anymore. it looks like an ellipse. and it is bent to the side, have to replace it
Damn school!!
Elliptical rotors are the latest in world cup stopping technology.
herr yeah, we have testing in first period, then watching movies for rest of day
Not really the latest. Remember Biopace rotors?
And fer chrissake, I didn't even think to ask if the rotor was straight, because that's like a guy asking why his car won't start and telling him to check if it has an engine.
