Help Problem with front disc not lining up properly.
 
I have read a few posts about front wheel removal without removing the calipers.
Problem I have is I replaced my tyres today and when I removed the front wheel did so without removing either caliper, just twisted the bottom of the one shock to get the wheel out and in, problem now is the one caliper and pads lines up perfectly but the other is tending to rub a bit on the brake disc generating a lot of heat, top of the caliper seems to be very close to the disc on the outside and the bottom visa versa, not sure what I have done or how to rectify it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may have twisted the forks slightly .this is for an enduro bike but the basics are the same

Fitted the wheel the wrong way around ?

Thanks guy's, problem solved, feel like a bit of a dope, as uncle Ricky had said fitted wheel the wrong way round, easily done when tired and working in bad light I guess.

That's why single disks are better ;)

My Tenere front wheel has an arrow drawn on the hub in permanent marker because it is a ****** to figure out. Obviously there's the arrow on the tyre as well, but I wanted a backup to be sure the tyre fitter put it on the right way round :D

Different size spacers, on the left and right on the spindle

But in that case, how did 1 of them line up OK ? Surely if they're different then both calipers would have been out ?

If you don't believe me then take your wheel out and look for yourself
