Nice - looks a bit tame for a DH bike though,

The tracks are hand made by about 3 of us so they aren't the best i'll admit :P
Although the camera does flatten it a bit - it takes a few minutes to push back up those tracks.

The forest of dean is the nearest decent DH spot and that's a 50 minute drive away so I'm stuck with short/fast/steep tracks for the time being :/

I prefer a frame on the smaller side as well, makes shifting your weight around that much easier. I cant afford my new frame yet, well i can but it leaves me nothing for any new bits i might need, there is always some part i forget like seat post that doesnt fit the new frame.

the disc needs the be adjusted to ensure its central between the two sides of the calipar. check out the hope components site they have.a video to explain how to adjust it, same goes.for all breaks really. You simply need to undo the top bolt centralise the disc retighten and repeat on the bottom bolt.
 
A small amount of brushing is normal, but if its the piston body that is brushing then it may beed aligned slightly. Loosen the brake. Pull the brake on. Tighten the brake. Release brake lever.
 
What brake do you have?
There will be another of those bolts on the other end of the caliper.

To re-align the brake caliper you loosen both of them so the caliper moves easily. Then grab the brake and re-tighten them very, very evenly.
If it's still rubbing you may need to position the outer pad, depending on the brake..

Edit: 2 posts too slow. :(
 
If you spin the wheel does the disc stay in the same position all the way round, you may need to bend the disc slightly, in the pic it doesnt look like its touching anything.
