Brake scraping while turning?

kingkang204 · April 13th, 2011, 09:57 PM

I'm not sure if its actually the brake or not but it's the same sound as if you where using your front brake to slow down. And every time I start to lean it makes the sound as if I'm braking when I'm not touching either of the brakes.

Do your 250's make this sound also or is something wrong?

Thanks!

Something is definitely wrong. Everything is very smooth when I lean/turn.

Check all your cables and make sure nothing is pinching. Turn your wheel and look at what it's touching and see if you can see some obstruction or tension that's causing it.
