Front disc warped?

[jimmyd]

Hi,

My front brake disc on my new bike makes a scuffing noise once on every rotation... ie. the faster I go the faster the scuffscuffscuffscuff noise goes. It's worse when it's cold.

How likely is it that the disc is warped? It's a big thick disc so I'm just surprised it could warp so easily, but it's definitely not an even scuff.

It doesn't look off when I look at it straight-on, but I can't spin the wheel as it's only on side stand.

Can I get round this by bleeding the brake slightly?

If its floating disks you may just have a few stuck bobbins.

The pads could be binding, put it on the centrestand and put the front wheel in the air and turn it. See if it's the pads rubbing
