Hi all, got a new bike and when i pull the brake lever one side of the calipers stays a wee bit tight to the rim(resistance training). any way to balance it out that they release together and leave equal gap between the rim and the block? or is it a bedding in period? thanks john

There's usually a small grub screw on the caliper for centering the brakes.

Assuming your wheel is in straight.

If that fails, you'll need to loosen the bolt at the back of the fork crown, centre then re-tighten.
