Hey Guys,
Still a newbie so please don't laugh too hard. Just bought a Raleigh Grand Prix from local LBS. Barely learned how to take off the front wheel so I could load it into my pregnant roller-skate of a car (a Hyundai accent).
So I bring it home, re-attatch the front wheel, and try to hand-spin the tire to make sure it doesn't fall off...and it doesn't spin.
The front brake pads look like they're already touching my tire, as if I'm pulling the brake handle...so when I try to spin the tire, it either doesn't spin or rotates once and slows down. Did I break something already ?
And: Does it matter which way I attach the wheel?
Thanks again everyone, hope the week is going well!
