Hi All,
Bit of a conundrum. I've been working on the bike over the lockdown; suspension service, regreasing bearings, brake bleeding etc (all with mixed results;)).
The last item was the rear rotor: it keeps rubbing the pads in one spot, which makes it hard to align the caliper. As I've been trying to straighten it for months, I just bought myself a new rotor yesterday.
The problem is the new rotor is rubbing exactly the same way. Now, the wheel is a bit out of shape, and the rotor seems to be following the pattern, but it doesn't make much sense as the hub should still be fine, right? Might the flange be bent or the wheel pulling at the hub somehow? Still need to properly check the spokes, but it shouldn't be connected anyway to the rotor?
Thanks!
