i think i've got haelo haemorrage issues. i have one on the front and this weekend i noticed that when i'm track standing with wheel to the right the front brake starts to rub. bit of a worry yes? i think something must be flexing either the fork's bending (stock ridgeback genesis flyer "crabon fibre" jobbie), the whole wheel is deforming enough to touch the brake or perhaps the hub's moving? bearings fucked? dunno. it all seems pretty sound and runs smooth, silent and true in a straight line but every time i stop and track stand with that wheel turned to the right (or left), no matter how little i try to lean on it, the brake starts to rub. now i've impending wheel collapse paranoia. any thoughts?
