Troubleshooting

Wheel makes clicking or grinding noises.

Check cassette installation for tightness. Inspect spokes for any loose or broken spokes. Ensure the rim brake pads are not rubbing against the rim.

Brake performance is poor.

Clean the rim braking surface thoroughly. Ensure brake pads are correctly aligned with the braking track and are not excessively worn. Check brake cable tension.
