Third ride on a new bike.

There's this weird thing where the wheel suddenly start dragging. Feels as if the brake is partially on.

No change in gradient or surface and pads well clear of the rotor. Is it the hub?

Have you had the bike in a workstand and see if the problem occurs? Probably easier to see what might be going on?

I'm guessing it's the rear wheel? Could be brakes, bearings, freehub, tyre touching frame etc...

Might pop it into the workstand after my ride tomorrow. Weird thing is it isn't constant. It comes and goes.
