Rear Breaks Rubbing!!!

[Chris Swift]

Took bike for a service rode 50 miles since service now my rear break pad appears to be rubbing, Ive messed around and it's not rubbing so bad.... Just gets a slight rubbing noise once a full wheel goes round.

Any ideas?

Have you checked how true your rear wheel is?

Im sure someone with a little more knowledge on this will be along shortly. As said, I have only trued my wheel once with good results, time, patience and a spoke key is all you need. IF that is whats causing your problem.

All sorted I see what I was doing....

Basically I wasn't applying enough pressure to hold break pad in position when tightening up causing the rubbing.

Not sure whey after 50 miles this would happen... No buckles etc.

Try not to break your brake. Otherwise when you brake, you might break.

Agreed - nobody wants to break their brake. They might break something. And if you break a bone, then you won't be able to brake.
