Front brake problem

[armysig]

My front left wheel does not spin freely while jumping. I have check to see if the disk was warped, and it doesn't seem to be. I have noticed that the brake pads are very snug on the disk and it is sticking.

Is there a way to adjust the distance the pads are from the disk?

i had the same problem with my front right. i was using ebc sintered self cleaning metal pads and it would not spin. the rotor was not warped or any thing but i bought a new one of ebay for 30.00 and switched it and now it does not do it at all. rotor might be the problem becuase i took mine before i took it if and spun it through the caliper and it would spin great fo about 99/100s then it would rub and then spin. so just a little warp makes it not spin. it affected balence in the air and wheelies so i switched it. pretty cheap but **** happens. i would just replace the rotor or take the pads and sand the pad part down a little bit, till it doesnt rub anymore.

sorry if this doesnt help

Also there are pins that the calipers ride on that need to be lubed or the caliper will freeze somewhat and make the pads rub the rotor.

I haven't changed the front pads yet, but have changed the rear plenty of times...
So maybe you need to push that Caliper back in with a C-Clamp, to push it back.
I may be wrong so someone can correct me if so.
