Recently got my bike out the garage and started putting it together..... Went to tighten the quick release which was fine (rear wheel).... but when i went to pedal it was really stiff and the drive chain would not pedal what so ever ! ! :( When i loosen the quick release everything is fine again. Pissed me off as i now can't bike and can't understand why its doing it. Any solutions would be very grateful

    Sounds like time to service the rear hub bearings.

    Pics? What hub?
    If it's older model, I've seen one with the freewheel catching on the chainstays, caused by improper layout of washers. Though it was with nutted axle, not QR..
