With the front wheel held off of the ground, ensure that the wheel can spin freely and the wheel is centered between the 
brake pads. If the tire is rubbing on the fender, you may need to raise the fender at the fender mount (3-C). The rim should 
be centered between the brake pads. If the brake pads are not centered, grasp the brake caliper and rotate the brake to a 
centered position (3-D). You may need to hold the fender in place as this is being done.
