Hello everyone. I picked up a new bike and I’m noticing the front disc brake is rubbing without even pressing the brake. How do I adjust that?
Also how do I know my chain is on the correct cog for 1st gear? Sorry I know these are basic questions but I was having a hard time finding answers.

The two bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket . They are lined up so they point to the fork stanchion.
Loosen them, squeeze the brake lever, tighten bolts.
Should get you there.
The caliper may not be properly aligned with the rotor. Loosen the bolts on the caliper, such that the caliper can move freely. Squeeze the brake lever, and then tighten the caliper bolts while still squeezing the brake lever. Spin the wheel to see if the rubbing is gone.
