Hi folks,
Before I get started; let me tell you that I have really enjoyed this
mailing list. I only wish I could get some work done, as I always come to
check my mail and an hour later I am still reading about how to cure many
of the future problems that I am sure I will eventually confront.
On the last few evening rides in my Spit I have noticed a burning smell but
I couldn't tell where it was coming from until tonight. I touched the rear
wheel on the driver's side and it was very hot. Is it possible for the
bearing to cause that or do you think the brakes are adjusted too tight?
The bearing is probably going out because I hear a thumping behind me when
I let off of the pedal, but I don't know if it would cause that much heat.
I bow down to the greatness of your collective wisdom.
Thanks for your help.
