How can I keep my rear wheel from rotating?
(If you have a quick release, take it off and use a wheel nut. If you can not find one anywhere, keep the wheel off the bike and use a 3rd wrench on the right side to keep the axle from rotating in this next procedure.)
Why does my wheel hub make a scraping noise?
My car has an automatic transmission. The wheel hub bearing could be getting noisy or the scraping noise could be caused by the brake pad material. The most common cause of such noise is when the metallic material in the brake pad makes a scraping noise when brakes are not being applied and then it becomes noisier when the brakes are applied.
Why is my front tire making a rubbing noise?
The tread on the tire looks fine, I know it’s not scrubbing the wheel well, and it has brand new strut assemblies, including mounts, springs, and insulators, on the front end (the noise was there before replacing then with no change afterwards).
How do you loosen a rear freewheel on a car?
You only need to loosen them enough to expose the cone fully past the sprockets. Make sure to watch for the bearings falling out. The best way to do this is to place the axle on something hard to push the right cone up against the bearings as you loosen the left side, then flip the wheel over and push the left cone up.
What does it mean if my tires rub when turning?
For example, if caster angle is way out of spec, this can be a source of tire rubbing. If you own a truck or SUV with significant wheel gap, you might be able to ferret out tire rubbing contact points when parked.
What causes the rear derailleur wheel to creak?
The two pulley wheels of the rear derailleur spin as the chain turns. Use a light lubricant to quiet them. Creaking can be the result of loose spokes in the rim. Spoke may be moving in the rim or spokes may rub one another at the spoke interlace. In either case, increase spoke tension, using a spoke tension meter if possible.
What to do when rear derailleur spins backwards?
Inspect for twists in side plate, or burrs, cuts or other damage to the side plates. Place chain in a gear combination that relaxes the rear cage, and spin chain backwards. If the chain hops as it passes of the pulley wheels, it may have a tight link . The two pulley wheels of the rear derailleur spin as the chain turns.
What happens when you change the wheel offset?
Wheel offset specification moves the wheel and tire left to right (laterally) within the wheel well. Even if no increase in wheel or tire size has occurred, a change in wheel offset can position the tire differently enough that rubbing occurs.
