Default wheel instalation help..

well i left my bike on stands as i left to the shop to get my tires mounted.. when i got back and started puting the front on, i was having trouble getting the caliper over the rotor. I dont think anybody pushed the brakes while the caliper was off the rotor, but it doesn't want to get back on. It is not completely closed, there is probly liike an 1/8th of an inch or so .. is this normal??

man now it's even more fucked up hah ... i had problems with the rear caliper .. then i got it .. now the chain adjusters are being BITCHES. The left one will be say, a half inch out and i'll have the proper tension .. but the right side will be like an 1/8th of an inch out and it wont come out farther..

any ideas?? this has taking like alllll day to do hah

jason .. well, if ya do, hit me up. on sunday i get off at 4, dunno what time it closes, but if ya head out hit me up. later man

the notches on the chain adjusters arent accurate; use a pair of vernier calipers or ruler to measure out tension...if you need to pull them back a lot; it may be time for a new chain.
