trials owns Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 hi there, right so when i spin my wheel it goes around for about 3/4, the rim fine without the brake pads touching but as on the last 1/4 with the rim the pads hit the rim and it getts jammed badly, once i have got passed the jamming stage it just repeats. its not my hub as just fixed that and is really smooth without wobbling, the wheel seems straight so im putting it to reason that its the spokes causing this problem, what do you guys think??? will tightening the spokes stop this problem??? can i just buy one of these and tighten it on the bike??? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=2010&category_id=31. cheers, gotta learn this somewhere lol.

Alex Dark Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just sounds as if its really buckled.... the pads are hitting the rim and not the tyre? If theyre hitting the tyre could be a flatspot in the rim...if rim then it needs truing. Is the wheel/rim lose when you try and move it side to side with your hands?

Is the wheel/rim lose when you try and move it side to side with your hands? not really, you can jiggle the rim a little if you hold a pad in them pump the lever so the other pads moves it, how do you tru a rim? yeah the pads are defo touching the rim but not the tyre, cheers for help.
