Oli P Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 The problem that i have is when try pedaling along or any time i pedal forward the rear wheel moves towards the right side and rubs against the brake pad so it is effect me alot when i want to put pressure down to go up something the brake comes on and it stops me from doing any thing. If any one has had the same problem or can help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 When this happens to me, it's just the wheels alined properly.Try just taking it off then on again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli P Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Iv got a quick release and its about as tight as i can get it and I will have a look for crack but i hope it isnt. I think it could be something to do with the hub because when I had the wheel out a round bit that goes on the end of the axel for the frame to attach to was lose but I could not put it complete on and do up the grub screw due to the casset got in the way, just wandering if this could be to do with it.Edit: No cracks and sadly taking it out and puting it back in does not work.

If you can pull the axle out as well, you have a broken axle, If you can wobble it without it pulling out you have one of a few things (loose cones/knackered bearings/broken bearing cups/mixture of the previous). The other thing it could be is a bent axle, you can see this by spinning the axle and seeing if the end raises and fallls with eath rotation.From what you said it sounds like the cones need tightening, but not sure what grub screw you are on about, what hub do you have?

Oli P Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Im not sure but i think the hub is a DDG hub. I have managed to get the casset lock ring off and make sure the bit with the grub screw is secure but I need to get a tool to tighten it up and hopfully that has solved it.

Oli P Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Iv managed to tighten it back up and it still does not work. The only thing that i can think of is that the quick realse is not holding it. Is there a product that wil convert a hub into having bolts instead of the quick release?
