[RBW] I'm new to track ends and struggling with wheel changes
Ooh, I missed something. You switched tires, which probably means fatter ones. I'll bet your pads are rubbing on the edge of the tire, not the rim. Drop them in the slots a smidge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

What the others have said, plus be sure the washer and axel bolt are placed properly. The washer acts as a spacer/sleeve and then the bolt snugs everything up. If the washer was left out or put in wrong, things would go sideways. Essentially, play with the wheel till you get it right again, then figure out why you didn’t and don’t do that again. Grin. It’ll take a time or two, thean be easy and old hat. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Might also want to check and make sure all cable housings are fully seated in housing stops... I mention this after having experienced a similar phenomenon that resulted from a ferrule and housing working its way out of a stop at some point when disengaging a quick release brake and this caused extra tension when reengaged and partially squeezed the caliper. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

If the wheel is straight and you're rubbing *both* brake pads, the wheel is probably parked further or nearer in the track than when you removed it. Theoretically the Quickbeam track-ends are designed to not have this problem when sliding the wheel to and fro, but your pads may be set at an angle which isn't great. My recommendation: Get the wheel tight and straight with good chain tension, then readjust the pads. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Hi, I decided to put some Jack Brown Greens on my new-to-me Quickbeam, and I've struggled a bit with reinstalling the rear wheel. The rim is now rubbing heavily against the brake pads. I'm assuming I either have the chain tension wrong or the wheel isn't quite aligned in the dropout. It was working perfectly before I removed the wheel. Any pointers or techniques I should use?
