About a year ago, the breaks on my bike started to rub. The front tire. I watched it rub and then not rub, then rub again and I would pedal on through. I contacted Geo-Joe, (who is a monumental bike enthusiast) for advice. He sent me some links and advice. Then, as the ADD brain is wont to do, I kind of faded out about it. The rubbing just got normal.
I just pedaled through it. I mean, it's not like I go that fast. See the crew up there? Do you think we go fast? Pancakes bike only goes one speed. ;)
Then one day I had had enough. I brought it to a bike shop and 15 minutes and 10 bucks later they balanced my wheel.
Now I cruise so much easier!
It's awesome the difference a balanced wheel can make.
ride on everyone!

The rubbing of your bike brake could be emblematic of how we put up with a small irritation until it, as you say, becomes normal.
Such as a dripping fauces in the second bathroom. SMILE
wow, that didnt take too long to get fixed. :)
fyi a bike wheel is 'trued' a car wheel is balanced.
