Backtrail31

Well, i just got my bike back from my friends house and had to replace 2 tubes on my backtrail. Its all good just the brakes dont work like they used to from being at his house. Though the front wheel spins not to good anymore. It spins, but not for awhile, and its hard to pedal the bike from this. Does anybody have any tips on how to make the wheel spin good again? I already tried oiling and it didnt help.

Actually, If it happened after fixing your flats it's probably just your cone nuts. They could have possibly tightened if the axle spun while you were tightening the axle nuts. Just take off the front wheel and make sure there isn't too much pressure on the bearings.

If it still spins like crap, it's the bearings.

i'm guessing this is the problem...are the brakes rubbing? what do you mean they don't work like they used to? do they not grab at all? do they not grab enough?

I think that it's the bearings that have a problem. Just buy new bearings and remember not to lend your bike to anyone else because I'm it will be a disaster.
