faint burning smell

(1/4) > >>

Peanut:
Set up my new ride and rode it round the block, there's a faint smell of melting plastic I can't identify which is quite worrying. I've checked that there are no brake cables touching the wheel in any way, just can't put my finger on what it is.

any ideas?

oberonspacefruit:
lol, thats the strangest tech and resto question i have ever heard....

theRuler:
is the crank all greased up nice?
nothing in the wrong way around?

oberonspacefruit:
logically, it has to be a moving part if its friction. wheels tyres drivechain.

theRuler:
sniff round the bike and see where the burny smell is coming from
