Hi everyone! I just noticed that my rotor disc is hitting my break caliper and it creates also a squeaking noise while I pedal. Do you have any idea how to adjust and get rid of it? I have checked my break caliper and I think it is not adjustable.

try loosening the lower bolt there, there should be another as well. sometimes there is just enough play in the bolt diameter and the hole to allow the caliper to shift just enough to clear.
Loosen the two bolts holding the caliper, squeeze brake handle and tighten while squeezing. Might have to shimmy it around a little but that usually works
Recentre the disk.
Watch a YouTube video as to the steps.
Basically you loosen the caliper so it can move laterally, hold the *brake* lever down while tightening the caliper.
That looks like a *brake* with only one piston. Check the Park Tool videos. They cover this.
Sometimes you can end up with a warp after centering. You can take out a warp with **gentle** contrary moves of the high spot on the disk using either a disk tool or a 4″ crescent wrench opened just to the width of the disk rotor. Do not try to correct it in one move, it’s not flexible like that. Ten little adjustments works better than trying to fix it in one.
