The assembly which is held on by the axle bolt and holds the disc brakes is rubbing against the lower part of the rotor just below the pads. There is a bolt screwed into this assembly and perhaps it is too long and is rubbing against the rotor. It has worn a nice shiny ring all the way around the rotor below the disc pad. It's as if the outside pad is not touching the rotor. The resistance in turning the rear wheel is pretty much the same all way around. If I knew how to load a pic on this forum, I'd do that, but I am new to this site.
BTW, I've been riding cycles since 1980 and have never ridden the rear brake. I can't imagine with less than 500 miles on the odo that the rotor would be warped when I can see where the rubbing is occurring.
