Hot rear drum (Read 163 times)

If the wheel spins it ain't bad. Feel your front rotor after a ride... but don't touch it for long..

I took the wheel out and had the new tire put on it a local bike shop.
Had some difficulty getting the wheel back in (tire a little lager "90") did not help. I did not take any bearing out and put the shaft and spacers as shown
in the Table of Contents with links, under Rear brakes and wheels by Savage Greg on 07/15/05 his last picture with his correction.
Maybe the bike shop lost a part, but I did not notice it. Also it has been very hot and I am sure that did not help the situation.
Meanwhile, I will keep a eye on it when I go on my next longer ride.
Thanks everyone for your inputs and I will take it apart if necessary.

Re: Hot rear drum Reply #17 - 07/23/20 at 22:50:10 I think Row has a good idea If you toss a bit of water on and it sizzles Check it out If it's just warm I would put a finger on each side,,if one side is a bunch different, ride it and monitor ,, if it doesn't squawk, or smoke or sizzle and it free wheels okay, I'd watch it till it's time for a tire, then give it some serious study

Typically I brake with the front wheel only and apply rear as needed. Lately I have used the rear only and the problem went away! Thanks, to everyone for your inputs on this issue.
