I've been away for about 6 months and my bike has been stood doing nothing in my yard just under a tent shed thing and my back wheel doesn't turn properly.

At a certain point its like it is touching the side and making the wheel harder to move round .

i took it for a little test ride hoping it would fix it self some how Laughing

but at the certain point it just makes a scrapping noise.

could my wheel have buckled somehow?

It was fine before i left and its not been touched at all.

Binding brake.

Also I'd check your tyre for flat spots where it has stood, also check the pressures.

Rusted chain?

Best thing to do is everything posted above...

Clean the rust off of your chain and lube, sort the brakes out and as its been sitting for half a year, you should do your tyre pressures anyway. Thumbs Up
