Hello, I just bought my first ever road bike - Trek 2.3. I have 30 days to decide if I want to keep or maybe upgrade this bike. I know very little about road bikes. Last night I took off the front and rear wheels just to get familiar. There is a small lever (quick release lever/dial) to open up the brake shoes and slip out the tire/wheel. When I put the front tire/wheel back in and closed the quick release, I noticed a rubbing when spinning the wheel. At a certain point the wheel just touches the brake pads. If I open the quick release 4 clicks then the rubbing stops. I'm assuming the quick releas should be all the way closed.
How do I fix the rubbing?
