Hi

I have a problem within my wheel, I started hearing a small noise while riding and then few meters later it became really hard to rotate. Please see video where I have to push really hard.

I think it is most likely the freehub. Can I do anything to troubleshoot it ? I paid a bike shop last week to tighten the hub as it was too loose, could it be connected ? I had ridden 50km without problem since.

Thanks !

    Is your rim just rubbing on your brake? Can’t tell in this video. Make sure your wheel is properly seated.

  2. The tire is rubbing on the inner part of the rear fork’s lower arm: you must open the quick release lever and make sure to push the wheel all the way back inside the hooks, then lock the quick release. That should solve the problem.
