rear wheel - quick release - newbie question...
Hi,
I am not fully familiar with the rearwheel quick release even though i have removed and fitted it 10/15 times now. here is the question - i decided to clean the cassette and i removed the rearwheel and after i fit it back, i guess the wheel went unaligned - because i see that one of the brake pads scratch when in locked position. -- not sure why it can get out of alignment... the quick release seems a straight fwd logic, but doesn't occur to me as to what can be done to it any pointers/suggestions much appreciated. thanks, ravi |

The way I know I got it right is that my brakes start working right, instead of dragging on one side. |

As long as you didn't change any spacers on the axle, the wheel should stay centered when you tighten the QR. Make sure the axle is fully seated in the drop-outs. That's generally easier to do with the bike standing on its wheels. If the axle is slipping when you pedal the QR isn't holding. Perhaps it's loose or it may be a defective sort. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/skewers.html -- zk |
