What a great resource. Thank you for compiling these reviews all together!

Great advice thanks so much! As I said above I think it was a combination of old tires, temperature and humidity changes and non true rim causing brake pad rubbing.

Rim is definitely not true. Slightly bent. I can see it more when I’m behind it and spin it as opposed to riding it.

Tire is also multiple years old. So I’m guessing it’s a combination of old rubber, humidity, temperature changes, and not true rim.

Thank you for your detailed response.
