I was just reading a thread about Mt. Hurricane and was reading about a
brake rubbing on ascents
i just got a brake and am having similar troubles except it rubs while
i'm idling, and i haven't tried any big climbs w/ it yet
i tightened all the spokes on my KH wheel that were loose, and then
tried to tension it correctly in the spot that it rubs
i think i did a fairly good job, considering i have never worked on
wheels before
i read threads about having a new wheel tensioned and stress relieved,
and even thought my muni is 2+ months old, i was wondering about having
it done
Darren Bedford told me that kris said his wheels are hand built in
taiwan and darren said that they don't need to be trued until they start
creaking
mine kind of creaks, but it's just spoke noise (not crank problems or
anything)
would it still be a good idea to get my wheel properly tensioned then
stress relieved? i don't really need it trued because it's not bent, and
i tensioned the spokes so they're all at a similar tension
