I have been having problems with the front wheel of my bike in that it doesn't freewheel any more and after checking this weekend i found that i could see and hear right hydraulic brake pad rubbing on the disc.
I have Shimano BR - M486
you can adjust the right hand side pad by turning the small allen key head that is on the calliper ( the same side as the pad you are wanting to adjust ) this just simply moves the pad in and out depending which way you turn it

bike running low on…oil?
I ordered a very tall mountain bike from jensonusa.com . Tall bikes are a bit hard to find locally. I wanted disc brakes because I figured they’d be easier to deal with than V brakes, which always seem to get misaligned. I got the bike and it was mostly assembled, but came with gobs of manuals for the various parts. They really need a quick assembly guide for noobs…there really wasn’t too much to do, but it took me days as I read over all the manuals. I must have applied the brakes with the front wheel off at some point because the front brake pads squeezed together so that they wouldn’t allow the front brake rotor in. That’s when I figured out I have hydraulic brakes that need oil. I had unscrewed the brake assembly trying to get the pads apart and precious oil oozed out. After lots of research, I found out that you just pry the pads apart with a screwdriver. After finally getting the bike set up last night, I rode it a bit…had to get clippy shoes and all. I’ll have to put more oil in that front brake, which will be another adventure. Presta valves are a pain because the cores can’t easily be removed for sliming unless you get special tubes.
