Hi all,
Has anyone had this?
Noticed today on a ride that my rear wheel, (Bontrager Rhythm Comp on a 5) was making ‘clicking’ noises. It only seems to happen when I am sitting on the bike, both while coasting and using the pedals.
Also, and this may be unrelated, the pads rub on the disk rotor at one point, but only when I am sitting on the bike. Not when I flip it upside down and spin the wheel.
On further investigation I have found the skewer to be bent, only slightly at the end near the thread. The rear wheel is also out of true.
Any of this sound familiar to anyone? Google suggests that a bent skewer points to a broken axle.
I should add that I have been learning to jump…..badly….so this is probably has something to do with it.
Any help would be great…really skint at the moment so trying to find the cheapest fix.
Thanks STW massive!
