out, your discs might not be parallel with your pads.  Loosen the pinch
bolts and push down on the forks a few times with the brakes applied.  This
may sort it out.

I'd like to suggest a slight modification of David's advice........for
complete effectiveness of this manouevre you should not apply the brakes.
Instead, it is best to push the front wheel up against a wall or other
immovable object and pump the forks up and down several times before
tightening up the pinchbolts.
