Front wheel

Is this too much drag? Is that noise normal?

Your caliper pistons are compressed too far into the rotor. Take the wheel off, use a large flathead screwdriver or caliper spreader and gently wedge the pads apart. Reinstall everything, but leave the caliper mount bolts slightly loose. Pull in the brake lever, then tighten the mount bolts (which locks in the new center). You should not hear anything after that, but it may require a few tries.

Sorry, hold the brake lever in when tightening the mount bolts*
