Hey guys, I recently got a new tire and upon installation of the rear wheel I noticed the brake disc was rubbing on the caliper bracket. My first thought was that my disc was warped so i checked the disc and its straight as an arrow. I figured the only other thing that could be wrong was the caliper bracket so i bought a used one from ebay. I got the new one and it was the same.
Here is a pic

Thanks for the quick response. I checked the spacers and they are all acounted for. I also checked the slot was placed correctly on the locator tab. I got anxious to ride since the cold weather is coming so I modified my original bracket to work. I just took a flat file to the slot the disc goes into. After a 15 minute ride I checked the rear disc and it was cold. There is no rubbing as shown in the picture.

Any chance it was not in the slot and had the axle nut tightened? Perhaps that bent it?
