I'm pretty new to discs. (About 4 months old Formula oro K18s). Changed the tyre over on my rear wheel and now, having had it set perfectly, it's rubbing. I can easily unscrew the caliper and re align that but surely this shouldn't happen just from removing the wheel should it? Wheel and disc look straight and pads are not significantly worn.

Have I done something wrong?

Any advice gratefully received!

did you pull the lever when the wheel was out? have you got the wheel sitting in the dropout dead straight?

The wheel is straight in the dropouts. I don't [i]think[/i] the lever was pulled with the wheel out

Turn the axle a quarter turn and try again. Do this four times. See if one works. I've come across two sets of specialized wheels recently that had non concentric hub axles.
