I went biking today on a road bike that my neighbor let me borrow. I primarily ride around on the greenbelts (sidewalks). Well today, I got to a bumpier area of the greenbelts (the individual concrete sections' heights are uneven). I noticed that one of the spokes popped up.
After stopping to fix the spoke and getting back on, I noticed my brake was rubbing the tire at slow speeds. I got off the bike again and realized the back wheel was warped. I'm pretty sure it wasn't warped before because I've never felt the brake rubbing. Can a wheel get warped that easily? I wasn't jumping curbs or anything.
How much do new wheels on nice road bikes typically cost? It's a LeMond.
