  Your Radius Bicycle brakes might not be working due to several reasons. The brake blocks could be worn down and need replacement, or they might be greasy, wet, or dirty, requiring cleaning of both the blocks and the rim. Alternatively, the brake cables may be binding, stretched, or damaged, in which case you should clean, adjust, or replace them. The brake levers could also be binding and need adjustment, or the brakes might be out of adjustment, requiring centering.

  If you are experiencing frequent punctures on your Radius Bicycle, consider these potential causes: the inner tube might be old or faulty, necessitating a replacement. The tyre tread or casing could be worn, indicating the need for a new tyre. It's also possible that the tyre is incompatible with the rim, requiring a replacement with the correct tyre. Ensure that the tyre is checked for any sharp objects after a previous puncture and remove them. Finally, check that the tyre pressure is at the correct level.

  Laura HancockAug 20, 2025
  A slipping chain on your Radius Bicycle can be caused by several factors. The chainring or freewheel sprocket teeth might be excessively worn or chipped, requiring replacement of the chainring, sprockets, and chain. Alternatively, the chain itself could be worn or stretched, necessitating its replacement. A stiff link in the chain may also be the culprit, which can be resolved by oiling or replacing the link. If the chain, chainring, and freewheel are not compatible, consult a professional bicycle mechanic.

  A wobbling wheel on your Radius Bicycle could be due to a few reasons. The axle might be broken, requiring replacement. The wheel could be out of true and needs truing. Loose hub cones could also be the cause, and you should tighten the hub bearings. Headset bindings may also lead to a wobbling wheel, so you should alter the headset. Finally, collapsed hub bearings can cause this issue, and you'll need to replace the bearings.

Why does my Radius make a grinding noise when pedalling?
- C
  courtney16Sep 8, 2025
  A grinding noise when pedalling your Radius Bicycle may be due to the chain jumping off the chainwheel sprocket or chainring, in which case you should adjust the chain line. Another cause could be a freewheel that does not freewheel, requiring lubrication or, if the problem persists, replacement. Incorrect gear shifting might also be the reason, so you should alter the derailleurs. Steering inaccuracy can also lead to grinding noises, so align the wheels correctly. Finally, knocking from the rear end of a suspension model may necessitate consulting a professional bicycle mechanic for frame realignment, repair, or replacement.
