Rear brake issue

[chris_brown_25]

I've just replaced my chain and sprockets, put the wheel back on and took it for a test ride and everything was fine..

Finished work last night and rode home, I noticed that the rear brake was applying as soon as I pressed the pedal and was squeaking when pressed, it sounded like it was binding constantly.

So when I got home I put the bike on a stand and checked the chain tension, wheel allignment and brake pads and caliper.

I couldn't see anything out of place so I checked the rear brake adjustment to get some free play but i couldn't get any free play.

So I took the caliper off and checked the piston but I could press it in with relative ease, I cleaned the caliper up and greased the sliders. ( background, the rear brake and disc was replaced 4 months ago due to being warped and sticky piston)

I've checked both pads and it seems like the inner pad (the one closest to the wheel) is the one that's rubbing. Making the disc very hot to touch. It's as if the wheel has moved over about 2mm.

Could anyone give me advice on what to, I'm at a lose end

Thanks in advance

Chris

But you could have swapped the wheel spacers over by mistake...?

The spacers are different sizes and only can only fit in 1 side. The bigger spacer on the sprocket side and the little one on the brake side. I'm going to take the wheel out and have a look later. Cheers

Moke sure the pads themselves are free to move
