Rear disk pressed against caliper with no apparent adjustment available
This is my Cannondale bent 2. Never had this problem that I've noticed and have been riding this bike for a long time. I can't see what happened to have had this result nor can I see any thing to adjust. Any ideas? Otherwise I'm thinking I just need to find a washer to put on the axle there to push the caliper out a bit. Thanks!

My bike has an adjustment screw for one pad but it looks like your wheel has been installed crooked so that the disc is not centered in the gap between the pads.
I agree. It looks like if you loosen the axle bolt on that side you can slide the hub further into the fork. That will center the disk in the brake hub.
Here's a page (on Park Tool's website) on how to adjust an Avid cable-actuated disc brake. There might be differences (both pads move in some cable discs but only one pad in others) but it should get you headed in the right direction.
EDIT: Here's a link to the mfgr's manual with details on how to adjust the Bb7 model or the Bb5 (which apparently are different).
Well there was no way to adjust anything I could find. The alignment is just off for some reason and the axle can't fit into the fork any other way but right in it. So I just threw in a spacer about a mm thick and it did the trick
How did that red arrow get inserted into my original Pic BTW lol?
I am building up a 10 year old cross frame (Raleigh) with Shimano 105 & GRX components. The bottom bracket is BB30, so I installed an adapter to use a threaded Ultegra BB with 105 cranks. With no chain installed, the crankarms spin easily. However, there is some friction that causes the arms to slow down. They do not spin until the momentum stops. Is this a normal condition from bearing drag?
Thanks in advance,

How would you propose I bend it back straight. The mount hole for the rear derailleur. I was thinking get similar sized metal rod from home depot and cut threads on it to fit in there to put in there and bend it. But not sure if there's a better method someone else has. Any suggestions? [img]https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.doityourselft.com-vbulletin/2000x1538/img_20211108_123135764_5a0f9870d09fce1747a8b9b130369df7a847cd74.jpg[/img]
