Hi
I know I would look through the intruction manual for this Answer, but I am away from the instruction manual at moment.
My back wheel seem to be binding, when you lift back wheel of the floor & spin it instead of free spining, it comes to halt rather quickly.
OK, I got some GT85 is it. Is it a case of spraying this on the rear hub, to lubricate it? The bike is coming up for it's first 5 week check over. I did take the rear wheel off to change the tyres, I am wondering if I put it back right?
Surely the brakes can't be binding & I made sure I didn't touch the lever when the wheel was off.

Could be the brakes, or a problem with the bearings. Never spray GT85 on hubs. I would certainly mention it at the 6 week check - let them sort it.0

OK might take it down there on Saturday after a decent wash!0

I fixed the problem. I phoned Bikehut & they couldn't fit me in to Monday. I thought would like to get out on it today, as nice weather. I'll attempt to fix it myself.
When I changed the tyres I unscrewed the hub too far and the end nut & spring came off. I put it all back correctly or so I thought. I put the spring around the wrong way, which prevented the wheel from sitting correctly in the hub. Hence rubbing the brake caliper.
I feel such a pillock. I can't believe I done that!0 -
Hehe, we live and learn!0
