Made-in voyage on the new new bike this morning.
Brakes are ok. The front disc rubs a lot - I fucked around with it but don't know how to make it less ON so I'm just going to wear it out, like an angry prick that I am.
I can endo around the corner to the office so they work but I reckon as the pads wear down, the levers are going to be too close to the bars to be safe. I need to work out how to adjust them better.

Best way to stop disc rub on my Kinesis is to lose the bolts holding the calliper to the frame, apply brake, re-tighten bolts.

My kinesis was rubbing when out of the saddle at first. It turned out I had to kind of start afresh with how the front caliper was attached to the adapters. Loosened everything a bit, then made sure caliper was square to the rotor, then tightened it back up. Was fine after that.
Also, I did my own brakes and was a bit worried about the amount of lever throw, but it hasn't got any worse over the last 1700 ish miles so they seem to self adjust ok for wear. Any pics of your build yet?
