      Perhaps the whole reason you changed your brake pads was because of awkard wear/significant wear on them due to a seized brake caliper. However, you didn't notice the seize caliper or forced it back into the caliper somehow. Another cause could be not lubricating the caliper pins, which would cause seizure there as well. Another is if you really don't know what you're doing, you may have totally installed parts incorrectly without proper orientation and caused something to bind.

        Everything he ^^ said was true. But, my friend Phempa/Ben had the same problem one time, and all he did was get some better pads, and use the disc brake lubricant, and things were fine after that. Use that lube, and get some new brakes under your warranty. If not, it could be a bad caliper.
