Brakes rubbing?

Post by tommyj27 »

I've noticed that my brakes hiss when I move my bike around the garage. I'm assuming that a little rubbing between the pads and rotors is normal, but they also seem to be slightly warped/bent in one spot. I notice that the hiss gets more pronounced at this spot and I can feel a slight amount of extra resistance. It doesn't seem to affect the driveability of the bike, it goes as fast as I want. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I look at replacing one or both of the rotors?

If it's nothing to be concerned about, I'll happily save myself $300 and live with it.
