|
After washing down my old bike so I can take pictures before selling it I left it untouched for about 4 weeks. Next time I tried to use it rear wheel was stuck in place. I asked a motorcycle mechanic and he said it's "common"? (if not used)
I can't even roll it to the shop haha.
Here's visual:

I was told by the mechanic to try and move the brakes with a wooden peace and a hammer to get it loose. I can't move it with my hands alone like on my normal bike, but with the hammer I managed to move it in with ease, however as soon as I stepped on the brakes it just went back in place and is stuck.
What should I do to fix this? I know nothing about fixing anything so assume you're talking to a 5 year old. I didn't manage to find any youtube videos on the subject. |
