First post! I've been an avid reader recently. Thanks for the goldmine of information.
I had a silly question about lifting a rear wheel and spinning it with your hand. When I've tried it on my track bike ( a hoy fiorenzuola 002 ) it manages only a few turns before stopping. It's got a dura ace crank, BB and dura ace hubs so that parts can't be an issue. Tension on the chain isn't too high and gearing is 51 x 15 which is big but I can't imagine its due to that.
Comparing it with other track bikes - they just seem to spin and spin.
I'm not blaming my poor performances on this, much as I'd love to, but I'm curious to know if it's an issue and if so where would I look to solve it. The bike is stored in containers and is 6 months old.
Thanks!
