Brake Rubbing?
Hey all,
Sometimes when I'm going slow, say puttering up to a red light, and I begin to slow down, I hear this rubbing sound from the right front tire when braking. It only happens once in a while...anyone know what this is or could be? Thanks.

I think i figured something out...someone gimme an opinion?
The front tires are low...down to about 22 PSI, so I filled them to about 30-32 PSI and the rubbing noise went away.
This morning on my way to school, it was rubbing again from the front right...when I got to the parking garage, I took a look and it looks like my tires are low again (I think due to cold then warm then cold again weather)...I'm gonna try and fill up this afternoon with air then see if it does it again.
Think there is any correlation between the air pressure and the rubbing noise? I looked at the brakes and rims...nothing seems to be contacting between the two, so I don't think the brake caliper is rubbing against the rim...
