Rubbing disc brakes on a new bike

[Stantheman]

Sorry for the thread resurrection, I searched for binding brake and this one came up and sorted my problem.

I just got my new mountain bike today and the front disc brake is rubbing and it's about 1/4 of the disc brake. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

If you mean that it rubs for about 1/4 turn of the wheel then that sounds a bit like the disk might be bent. Lift the wheel off the ground and give it a spin while you look along the edge of the disk to see if it wobbles while it is turning - it shouldn't! Assuming that you didn't buy the bike mail order, could you pop back to the shop with it to get them to take a look at it?

Unless you can't take it back to the shop because it's a mail order jobby check this vid:

Take it back to the supplier if you can, and get them to fix it because they should have fixed all the problems before selling it to you.
