I took the wheels off my bike to clean it at the weekend . . Put wheels back on and went to ride it yesterday. now my back wheel is making noises sounds like the plastic rear cassete cover rubbing on spokes but cant see it rubbing .. is it ok to remove the cassete guard ? , also the break isnt working now the lever is really loose when you press it.

I know this seems silly but has it gone back in properly ?

Sounds like the whee/disc isnt sitting right, check how its sitting in the caliper

I would always start by clicking the shifter all the way down the cassette then put the wheel in and take care not to knock the brake pad spring clip with the disc

Check the wheel is seated proberly and there is a pad either side of the disc

Sounds like the pad spring is catching the disk... Also yes it is best to remove those plastic cog guards

Thanks for the replies guys. Ill be removing the plastic guard then. I have taken the wheel off and put it back on a few times . Disc seems to be inbetween the pads... just nothing when i press the lever.

They are hydraulic disc brakes if that helps at all ?

All sorted for a tenner! Brake lead had loads of air near lever .

Odd.

Apparently from where i had bike upside down for a while.

There sealed so that shouldnt make a difference?

Bit of a mystery then i have no idea... seems to be all ok now though

All that matters, keep an eye on it.

Yeh will do . Bloke said if it happens again to just take it back in . Hes a pretty decent bloke and also a rider himself . Small business near where i live .
