Troubleshooting
Wheel is not spinning freely
Check if the quick-release skewer is too tight or if the brake pads are rubbing against the rotor or rim. Ensure the cassette is not hitting the frame.
Brakes are noisy or not stopping effectively
Ensure the 6-bolt rotor is securely tightened. Clean the rotor and brake pads with a dedicated disc brake cleaner. Check for proper caliper alignment.
Cassette is slipping or not engaging properly
Verify that the cassette is the correct HG type and is fully seated on the freehub body. Ensure the cassette lockring is tightened to the manufacturer's specification.
Wobbly or untrue wheel
Spoke tension may need adjustment. It is recommended to have a qualified bike mechanic true the wheel to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
