Hi Everyone!
I have decided to attempt fixing my bicycle...I have a specialized ruby elite. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to ride it outdoors recently-so I have been putting it on my cycleops trainer. However, yesterday it started to smell like the tire was burning. Then, today...the same thing happened. I also kept hearing something (dragging sound) on my rear tire. I looked at my brake pad (one of right) was touching my wheel. I was able to fix that- but now, my brakes are too loose and I can't seem to tighten them. To make matters worse, that burning smell continued and I looked to realize that there were little black bits all over my floor from my poor wheel being shredded!! What gives?! SO frustrating.
SO- I can't figure out how to fix my rear brake and I don't know why my trainer is shredding my tire- even on the least resistance. It's never happened before Any ideas, videos for repair, thoughts? Thank you so much in advance!!
