First thought is to do the prudent thing and have a set of experienced eyes/hands have a go. The list of potentials is long but I would wonder about the rear axle/bearings. Assuming a rear QR skewer, a broken axle is somewhat "splinted" in place with the skewer so without significant force involved in the test the wheel would remain fairly stationary. Mere speculation on my part though. Andy
