  1. I just need a $150~250 bike to bike over weekends. Walmart has a bike with
    disc brake but as the wheel turns I can hear friction between brake pad and
    disc. It is either the disc caliber not well adjusted or the disc might be
    warped.

    Does disc brake requires frequent adjustment so pads don't touch the disc?
    Will the disc warp easily over time (in that case no amount of adjustment
    will make the noise go away)? How easy in general it is to adjust the
    clearance between pad and the disc?

    I may just choose to go with models with rim brakes only. But I quite like
    one model other than it has this disc brake in front.
