Hello there,
I had managed to replace my inner tube and outer tyre successfully, however since then I have been trying to re-fit my rear tyre back onto the frame to no avail.
Initially I thought the axel was at an angle. I have undone the nuts and bolts many times, rode the bike, then either the tyre starts rubbing with the frame, or the pedals become really stiff to rotate. But today I have realised its the derailleur that is the main issue. Basically, as soon as I attach the derailleur, the rear wheel becomes very difficult to rotate using the pedals. Once the derailleur is off, the wheel rotates as normal.
Please can you help me with this problem, I have been walking to work for about a week now and not cycling really is a hinderance! Thank you.
