Hi Everyone,
Bit of a novice at all of this, just bought a second hand road bike and need to fix a couple of things up on it. Unfortunately, I've used up my patience on something and really need advice.
Presently the rear brake is rubbing against the back wheel. The wheel is fine, it seems to be a problem with the rubber pad on one side not retracting properly after the brakes are engaged. They are dual-pivot side-pull caliper brakes. I've tried playing around with the brake cable's tension and also tightened the bolt that holds the caliper to the frame but no luck.
Appreciate any help....
Andy
