*Vultures Knob>>>Bike Pedals

I have a Specialized bike that is hard to pedal and just won't coast. What could be the problem?


The bike is 3-4 yrs old.

a bike that is ridden and unattended will let you down.get a publication on bicycle maintenance and read up on the p's and q's of maintaining a bike instead of counting on us to help you through the kerry invented internet.

Put air in the tires.

Sounds like major brake rub, or bad hubs

brakes rubbin?
or a old hub clapped out hub
