Rotor was indeed the last thing changed, together with the post mount adapter to push the caliper further out where it needs to be for a 203mm rotor (previously mounted directly on the fork with 160mm rotor).
Few days before that I played around a bit with fork settings and pressure to bring the behaviour more to my like as I'm new to this and didn't have a baseline to judge whether the existing setup was good or bad.
Thing is, I can't be sure I went "hands off" before changing the rotors and after playing with the fork so I can't be sure it was indeed the rotor or the fork.
Now, fork settings and pressure I can more or less revert to where they used to be, I think I can recall those values.
Rotor seems to be true. There was some touching of the pads at first but I fine tuned the position of the caliper and the wheel now spins freely when in the air.
If the fork just so happened to break/need a service right after those events it would be quite a coincidence but as I said the bike just clocked 1000km so for a cheap fork it may not be that unusual.
Last thing I can always do is put back the stock rotor (and remove the post mount caliper adapter) so I can eliminate new rotor being the cause, I just didn't want to jump straight to it.
@Chazmo That could be because of the extra air pressure I added recently, going from 90psi to 130psi. But I'll revert that and check.
@Gionnirocket the wheel mount is a through axle bolt.
