I fear I may have caused myself another headache. While I had the front wheel off my Kat for my forks rebuild, I squeezed the brake lever for whatever random reason. This cause the calipers to push the brake pads together. They didn't go all the way together but I had to push them back into the calipers to fit the rotors back inside them. Now, I have the same problem before I rebuilt my rotors: the pads aren't touching on one side and are pressing against the rotor on the other.
This means I cannot spin the front wheel freely when it's off the ground. I don't think this is normal. I can spin the wheel for a little bit but the brakes do cause it to stop faster than my '86 Radian's front brakes do. Would bleeding the system help this? I doubt it, but it's the only thing I can think of. I just don't want to have to go back into those calipers again.
