i just bought a brand new carrera banshee and after going on it for about 2 hours i reaqlised there was a rubbing sound coming from both disk brakes. i tuned the bike upside down and when trying to spin the wheels they both just stopped after about a 2 seconds, and they both made a rubbing noice. i looked inside the caliper and the disk is rubbing up aginst the pad that dosent move. i need to move the wheel left on the "axle"? is there a way of adjusting it?
thx

bikes should be ready to ride when purchased from a shop, if you have problems take it back to your supplier, they will be happy to help you, it,s part of their job.
If you bought mail order, you are now finding out why it isn,t a good idea, take it to a bike shop and get it fixed, send the invoice to your supplier.(contact them first)
The caliper usually has enough adjustment built in, search on line for your make and look at the service instructions if you must do it yourself.
