Title: I need some HELP
Post by: hljackso on September 22, 2024, 12:12:46 PM
I haven't been on my bike for 5 yrs and I have it covered outdoors.
I went to move it and the front wheel will not rotate.
I checked that the bike is in neutral.
I can push it backwards a few feet but the front tire just skids along without rotating.
I'm guessing the front brakes are some how locked but I really don't know for sure.
Anyone out there that could give me some advise.
Thanks
Hank

Front wheel is either bearings or brakes.
Start by removing the callipers as that has to be done to get at the bearings.
Sintered pads can corrode onto the discs so you might have to pry the pads loose to get the callipers off.
