    It is a bit off-topic...
    but - I have "Pro Max, alloy linear pull" brakes.
    And my concern was that my front wheel was stopping by itself pretty fast (when the bike is on the kind of "stand"). LBS guys said that pad was misplaced a bit, and they put it in right position.

    I went home and start looking at it by myself (out of curiosity, of course I am not an expert at all...) And one of the the pads (on front wheel) is always touching the wheel (rim?). I am not sure it should be like this.
    Now it makes about 2-3 circles/"360" and then stops. The rare wheel makes about 5-10 before stopping.

    I did not pay much attention at first but now I start thinking what if it might be a problem on the long ride. I like how front brake works though. Any ideas? Should I bring it back to LBS, or that pad should touch the rim?
    Or maybe it is just very new as I just bought the bike, so the pads will become thinner and it will not be a problem?
