Is not expected that an upright bike would allow a rear wheel to lock up?
Also, I can't remember who asked, but if I push the bike backwards, the wheel does a better job at locking up.
There was some oil on the rim, which I cleaned with a towel.

Even with aluminum rims I'm not sure it's reasonable on an upright bike to expect to be able to lock the wheel.
