    Just re- assembled front wheel after stripping to get powder coated, everything torqued up correctly too, the wheel spins freely enoughly but I get a very slight 'wooshing' noise from pads andcdisc when rotating wheel, is this the norm or should it be completely clear of the pads and no noise at all?

    Perfectly normal to get some friction from the brake pads.
