Freewheeling my Leopard feels sticky, pretty sure the disc brake is catching (even with the mech rotated anti-clockwise) How do I adjust it to reduce the binding? When I push the brake pad (black piece) to the right something is still binding, possibly against the clutch bell or the piece other side of the brake disc (alu coloured part)

Are you sure the enginge has not moved on the mounts?

Mine did at the w/e. Just felt a bit binding in one place.

It's not a gear binding feeling/sound (if you push the engine to the back then tighten) just loosened the 4 underside screws, pushed forward and still binding.

Definitely the brake disc, since it's brand new and there's some black colour marks around it since I've been rotating the wheels.

loosen the screws that hold the calipers agains the brake pad. They may be too tight.

Are those the silver ones on the left, the black allen keys facing the right, or the black allen keys facing me? (when looking at pic)

I can push the brake pad to the right meaning it's not touching the brake pad. It looks like the pad is touching the left side (the silver piece)

Have you actually driven it yet? They do take some bedding in. Just do a couple of full speed mild braking stops and it'll be fine. Mine dragged a little and sounded like a bag of bolts untill a tank of optimax went through her
