So my teen was complaining about his bike ride to work, something about a weird noise, and the bike being difficult to peddle. He thought it was the brake pad rubbing against the rim. I took a quick look at it, and spun the tire, and it rotated normally, with no rubbing at all. However, I noticed that the kick-stand wasn't operating quite right. In fact, it was loose. In fact, the entire hub was loose, the bolt almost off.
Got 'er fixed. Obviously when he was peddling the tire was wobbling and likely the brake pad were rubbing against the rim. And he's lucky that it never came right off. And just a friendly reminder to always do your DVI (daily vehicle inspection) before hitting the road.
He should be good until next time.
