Rear wheel drag...

[olie]

...when the bike is hot after an average trip, the rear wheel drags ...meanwhile the brake disc is not that hot.

loose front sproket? chain is not new but it is not that bad either!!!

Ideas before I take it to Micah?

[weasel221]

have you 'adjusted' the brake lever height/travel like i did?? lol

Check the hub and wheel bearings.

Checked the alignment ... probably i did overtight the rear axle nut. I will be testing the bike tomorrow, I rode my Kawa today aka Miss Reliable!!

Slighly better after a couple readjustments but still ...not good enough. Nice to have 2 bikes...

Remove the rear caliper (two bolts) and keep it clear of the wheel. If the drag has gone you need to service the caliper, if not you've crushed the spacer between the wheel bearings by overtightening the wheel spindle. Cheap to buy, a pain in the arse to replace.

GOOD NEWS !!!

I disassembled the Caliper, did some cleaning, move the pads back and forward as one seemed not to be moving freelly and.... voila, working perrrfect, tested the bike during 3 rides without any issue.

thanks for all suggestions!!!
