    when pads have been fitted and new disc you should be able to throw the front wheel and it will spin round maybe half to a full rotation.
    disc pads are always in contact with the brake disc so sometimes you will hear a rubbing. over time it gets fainter as the pads and disc bed to each other.

    go for a short ride and stop and check they are not getting super hot and fully binding up to a locking point, also remember to leave a good amount of room infront of you, its going to take a good 100 miles or so before those pads bed in so you will find braking is not as good s it was before.
