I have just taken ownership of my first road bike which has disc brakes. Usually with rim brakes you can spin the wheel and the valve will settle eventually at the bottom as it is the heaviest part of the wheel.
However, when I spin the front wheel with disc brakes there is a swishing sound through the disc brake mech and the wheel stops as a result of drag. Is this normal with disc brakes and does it mean I am cycling against a smal amount of drag? Only just taken it from good LBS so it should be set up correctly.
