Uh oh.... the shush shush noise. The classic rhythm of hard earned energy being squandered and helping to speed up the heat death of the universe for no good reason. Here are some quick things to check.
1. Is the back wheel completely in the drop outs? (up into the frame "u"s as far as it can)
2. Are all the cables housings in the correct spots? Not hanging on the edges of the eyelets.
3. Are the brake pads lined up with the wheel rim? Right when the pad touches the wheel it should only touch the wheel and not the tire.
4. Does the brake pad hit the tire during any part of the travel?
5. When you spin the wheel does the wheel rim get closer and further from the pads?
Harleymom, next time you get an itch for a swim, drop by and I will take a look.

that's a handey little slide show-- I will definitely show it to some locals who kite-board in the bay near my place. there used to be signs up on the beach talking about the "red rash" ...i'm definitely not stepping foot in the water if i can help it...
ok - I only know what half of this means. I am going to send this to Jenna and if she can't figure it out I will bring it by for you to look at.
thanks!
