How do you adjust the brake. The back rim is so far out of round that the brake keeps stopping the wheel. I am going to take it to a bike shop

The bike shop will be your best bet. It sounds as though you need the rim bent back to "true round" and if they can't they should be able to order you a new one.

1) Make sure the back rim is out of round. I thought that at first then realized it was an optical illusion with the back tire.2) If the rim is out of round contact the manufacturer and discuss this with them. They will send out a new rim.3) The brake is identical to bicycle hand brakes. Google bike hand brake adjustments or loosen the cable a little going to the brake mechanism itself. This will take a few hand tools like Allen Wrenches and pliers. Also, make sure one brake pad is not sticking out closer to the rim than the other one.

Call the company and they will ship out a new wheel in two days. I had all three wheels replaced because of defects

If your rim is that far out of round, you probably need a new rim. The manufacturer sells them for around $50. But you have to contact them as it is not on their website for order.

Sorry, I've been out of town. There is a tiny metal "clip" in an indentation near the end of each wheel. Carefully remove the clip, then push the wheel into the hole, and replace the clip, which keeps the wheel from falling off. Hope that helps.

First of all thanks for the reply. And indeed I figured I had to make that change in the Bike. Thank you very much again !!!!!

Make sure the tire liner is in perfect shape & not shifted out of place & does not have any holes where the spokes sit. If it is out of place or has holes, the spokes or the spoke holes can puncture the tube. Or maybe you are not installing the tire in a way to avoid tire pinch on the side walls... Google that issue to learn how to avoid it. Also, check your spokes, and make sure they are all firmly attached; if any are loose, they could be poking the inner tube on the inside. Make sure you are inflating the tire according to the pressure listed on the side wall; if you over inflate, you can squeeze the inner tube into the spoke holes & cause it to pop. Since the bike appears to be new, there could be some defect in the metal on the inner side of the rim. Feel it by sliding your fingers on the inside where the inner tube makes contact, to make sure that everything is smooth. To diagnose--- take the tube out & find the hole in it & mark it, so you can keep track of the location. Then, place the flat tube back in rim... the stem of the tube will cause the flat tube to be put right back into the same position it was in when it got flat/ (of course, there are actually two options, since you could turn the tube either direction from the valve stem... so you will need to check both spots)... Now you can see the exact area on the rim where the tube went flat... Closely check the rim in the area of the puncture for any of the problems listed above.

Unless you have a defect, the only thing I can think of is the tire hanging up on the brake pads. The wheel's center screw mount should stick out through both fork c shaped ends. The fork isn't bent really bad is it?

I no longer have the wheel, since it was for a flip bike. As I recall, it wasn't "overly" wide. I'd just get a rubber strip and trim the sides if necessary if too wide.

I recently paid my bike shop to do this, they said that due to the way the brake line is there it is tough to remove the back tire. However, they are not against doing it again, so it wasn't horrible.

you make the 45 degree angle from the ground up. After I put mine on my bike and I adjusted the part the cart was level. What you can do is put a levek on the cart and when the bubble is in the middle tighten the nut and your done I hope this helped answer your question

You need threads on your rear wheel to put it on. You will need a tool or a local bike shop can help you

I have a wierd bike and I had to make adjustments for my bike. Try a bike store, they may be able to help.

The bike that I put this wheel on my son has at college, so I can't measure it, However I did just measure the old wheel and that one is 95mm and the new wheel went on with no adjustments needed. I would say it was 95.

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

It is the back wheels that would give you trouble..too tall when bike on its side. Don't remove the front wheel because of the gear assembly.

You can take it to a regular bicycle repair shop. I replaced it myself, but it's definitely more tricky to get the wheel on and off than with a typical bicycle. Ultimately I put on a tubeless tire and saved all the hassle.

The center stem is completely removable, so put a little oil at an appropriate point and turn it around a little. There is a knob to adjust as well to tighten and loosen. Mine was a little stiff when I received it, but is fine now. Hope that helps! Lois

I do not know for sure, but backspacing might be the culprit. A wider wheel might have different backspacing. Just a thought.
