Wierd wheel issue
Hello all -
I've got my brakes centered and adjusted so there's very little space between the pads and the rims so there's a nice short lever pull. The wheel appears to run true, however, when the bike's on the rack, I pedal up to speed by hand and turn the front fork approximately 90 degrees to the left, one of the pads start rubbing intermittently.
Anyone seen anything like this before?

Happen all of the time to my 32 hole front and rears. Just widen the gap a little bit.

The brake cable housing is short enough to close the brake when you turn the fork THAT far. However, you will probably never turn the fork 90° while riding, so I wouldn't worry about it.

It's the brake cable pushing the brake out of alignment.

Got it.
Thanks for all the replies - that's what I was thinking but wanted to just double check.
Thanks.
