so me and a friend were going to balance my wheels (rim locks) and noticed a slight discoloration on the fromt brake rotor. i also noticed there is not enough contact surface on the rotor for the brake pad, but im assuming thats just cause of the design of the rotor? btw, i bought the rotor mounted on the rim from warp9. but what was even more concerning was how little the front wheels rotated when spun. this is my first bike, so my sm wheel is really the only thing id compare it to. any ideas? thoughts? here are two crappy iphone pics. thanks in advance

My first guess is when you put the wheel on you accidently switched sides for the spacers. They are not same and if you mix them up that is exactly what happens.

Don't know how many exactly, but it is several. If the brake pads are rubbing it will be not at all, otherwise you are probably OK.

update: i just got it back, i now notice the warp 9 rotor is 1 mm thicker, obviously causing the rubbing. anyone that has these, could you measure and compare yours to your X stock rotor? i hope someone can just convince me im too anal haha. but unfortunately i dunno...
