hi!i have a question, my rear wheel (the tire) keeps rubbing the left side tube of the frame it keeps getting close to that tube i readjusted it but again everytime i go out cycling it goes to the left, what can i do? is not the alignment coz i took the wheel to check it at the store and it was ok, what could be the problem?

@dozzy000 If your wheel is true and the store has confirmed that, the only other logical cause for the tyre rubbing on the frame is that the rear wheel axel is moving - this is probably caused by either the nuts at each end of the rear wheel spindle being loose (or not fully tightened), or if it's a quick release, the quick release system is not fastened tight enough. Either system requires to be fastened tightly to work effectively.

hello! I have also one problem... My rear wheel (the tire) can easily be broken.. As soon as i drive little faster and go on a pavement my tire breaks. Of course every time i go on a pavement i slow down a bit, but still it brakes.. My bike is only one month old and i have been on tire replacing for 3 times already... How can i fix the problem without making myself drive slower? Thank you :)

@dozzy000 I had this same problem today actually, I picked the bike up over my head then walked across the street and flung it violently into this drainage thing. Seemed to fix the problem. Leave it to people to over complicate something relatively simple so you have to keep buying things.

Good instructions on the whole but it really could do with a close up of the refit.

It's good advice, but it is kind of difficult at first. You want to practice it for a while, I could barely take my rear wheel off now I can get it off as fast as the front so practice makes perfect.
