I've had a problem for a while and I'd appreciate some help.
I finally figured out how to attach photos.
A while back I had an experienced shop disassemble and pack the bearing in my rear hub.
When I first took the bike out for a few miles eveything was ok.
Then I heard a scraping noise that I figured out was the chain seriously rubbing the inside of the chain guard.
I tried adjusting everything I could think of and eventually cut out the side of a spair ratty guard I had just so I could at least run it while I figured out the problem.
In looking at the hub I'm starting to wonder if the brake backing plate is too far into the sprocket drum.
I'm also getting a black powder that is coming out of the drum.
I've attached a couple of photos so could someone tell me if it looks ok.
Is it possible for the work that was done on the hub has allowed this to happen.
Maybe a spacer washer inside the drum missing?
Thanks in advance.
