I have just built up and riden (for the first time) my Brian Rourke roady.
Here's the issue, as soon as I drop from the big ring to the small ring the rear wheel is pulled forward (drive side) and rubs on the opposite chain stay (non-drive). This was obviously an issue had before as there are tyre rub marks on that side.
I'm beginning to think that it may be, the chrome drop-outs that are causing the slip? It just baffles us that it doesn't happen on the big ring.
Do I take my junior hacksaw to the drop-out and get some grooves in there?
