I bought a new Rockrider 5.3 this morning
(4 months old - new to me!)

I gave it a test drive. Tyres flat, need air but everything else fine.

I had to take the front wheel off to take in my saloon car.
I've got home. I've put the wheel back. And now it wont turn!
What could I be doing wrong...?

Thanks

Omar

    Wont go round or wont turn left to right. If the former then follow CDs link... if the latter you've probably spun the bars round 360degrees and the cables/hoses are holding it tight. Spin back to fix.

    guys... thanks for the replies
    all comments welcome :):)

    ok... so i was a dunce
    i put the wheel the wrong way round... the brake disc wasnt sitting in its place

    in regards to the link given... no way would i make that mistake :p
    thanks to all replies, i'm a semi expert on that subject
    when i put the bike in the car, i was very very very careful NOT to touch the brakes
    when driving, i kept looking back just incase the bike had somehow slipped and the brake levers got pressed

    bike is now fine :)

    Rubez: who is this poor man and why are you guys picking on him??
    leave him alone. lol :)

    Takes me no time at all, suggest it's your system that is at fault (I use a laptop on Windows Chrome an ipad running Safari and a Samsung smart phone on android based Chrome for info).

    Rubez was a guy who came on here spouting continual rubbish.....had ruined a good bike and rather than fix it bought a shonky one then tried to make a silk purse out of that sows ear.
