If the brake rotor and pads are centered in the caliper you're good to go, if not, you may have an axle spacer issue.

Get the right spacers... no doubt you can get some cheap from ebay for your bike....or cut/shim the spacers you have to fit correctly (center the rotor in the caliper).

Switch around your wheel spacers and try again

Maybe the two spacers are different lengths and they got mixed up? I've been playing with KX's lately, I forget what the spacers look like on the KDX wheels. I would think they would be different lengths though because of the odometer on the one side

Only one spacer on the kdx, brake side. The non-brake side has the gear drive on it that acts as the spacer.

Cool. Well, he said his wheel was over to the brake side...maybe he just put the spacer on the gear side, rather than the brake side?
