Just put new BST wheels w/ Galfer pads and rotors on and the front is dragging. Both sides drag. I had the oem shims on the new pads so I took them off and it is not quite as bad but still seems to be tight. Bike is an 06 w/ 2000 miles.

I'm not a brake pro, but I recall somebody saying something about scrubbing them in properly after installation.

Somebody will respond soon...and welcome.

Yeah, without the shims it doesn't feel to bad. I think it might be ok after it's ridden.

I posted this in the wrong section. Thought I was in the General section.

I think your bike is broken, not sure. Send
your bike to me and I will test it for a few years
to make sure
