Why is my rear wheel not spinning freely?
I continued to spin my rear wheel and still it did not spin freely. I replaced with my old stock wheels for a comparison and they continued spinning for well over a minute before I stopped them. I then replaced with the new wheel again and continued to spin it and I have noticed a slight improvement but still nowhere near the old wheel.
Why does my transaxle spin but not roll?
Add in the two expired cracked tires and it’s REALLY no fun. With rear wheels off the ground, they spin freely but in opposite direction, as one would expect from a differential (I think). The F-N-R lever makes no difference, though underneath, I can see that it is indeed moving the rod in and out.
Why is my Shimano bike wheel not spinning?
Shimano hubs run with 9 bearings – you are missing three on that side. This will cause lots of problems not least of which the wheel won’t turn properly. Edit to add: that should read 9 bearings per side. Rather important, as you have already noticed, the wheel won’t spin freely otherwise.
What’s the correct way to turn a rear wheel?
I must admit I found turning the red cap bit quite hard – it was quite tight. The correct way is to do none of that. Simply undo the 2.5 mm Allen bolt, turn the red cap anti clockwise 1/8 of a turn and tighten (gently) the allen bolt.
How does the rear wheel work on a bike?
I finished doing this and installed the cassette. The rear wheel will not spin freely anymore. When I spin the wheel with the bike turned upside down the wheel will turn approximately a single revolution and come to a complete stop. The front wheel turns freely for several revolutions before gradually stopping.
What causes the front wheel to turn freely?
The front wheel turns freely for several revolutions before gradually stopping. I’ve checked the common causes and it doesn’t match any of them. The first thing I checked was that the ball bearings weren’t being held too tightly. This is not a problem as the wheel spins freely when held by the axles.
Is the rear wheel of a bike stiff?
This is going to become a task for my local bike shop, unless I blow off tomorrow’s ride.
What to do about a stiff rear wheel?
Thanks. back the bearings off a bit if youve had the cup and cones out. qr clamp the axle and compress it slightly. bearing adjustment is best done with the axle clamped up. The first thing I checked was that the ball bearings weren’t being held too tightly.
