Bike question - quick release and disc brakes
Hello again,
Just a quicky, treated my self to a hardtail a little while ago but struggling with the disc brakes.
Everytime I take the wheels off, when I put them back in the brakes rub. Is there a knack to doing this? Or am I just being dense?
Any help much appreciated

I am seriously no expert but I would experiment with how you do up the quick release and see if you can even out the tension ... and check that you havent warped
You might just be putting the wheels on too tight too, try just loosening the quick release slightly. Ensure that the wheel is stable and doesn't move side to side though!
if they are hydraulic disks, they might need bleeding as the pads are moving in a little when you take the disk out which seems to happen if you get some air in. I've seen that before.
