@Archie8 Ironically, right now, I need to fix my #bicycle (specifically adjust the brakes so they touch the wheels only when the brakes are activated).
If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears! That said, this wikihow page looks like it might do the trick:

My friend was complaining that his 6 month old #Trek Bike was making crunchy sounds when riding. So I pulled it apart to see what was wrong. Turns out the rear wheel bearing cone on the chain side of his #Bontrager wheel was completely stuffed. It was making the crunchy noises from the day he bought it. The same wheel has also had 5 spokes snap in ordinary city riding. (The guy that owns this bike does not treat it badly, he uses it as his primary in-city transport.)
I put new cones, bearings and spokes in it, and it's fixed.
I believe the cone was faulty from the factory, as only one cone on side of the hub was damaged.
He didn't take it back under warranty because High Street Cycles in Shepparton closed down the day after he purchased it. And the nearest Trek warranty repairer is over 150KM away in Albury.
the rest of the Trek bike has been perfectly good, the disc brakes are a little loud, but other than that good. the only issues he's had with it have all been issues with the Bontrager wheels.
I wouldn't recommend Bontrager wheels after this.

Here's an epic before and after of a #bicycle that I restored.
And a video of how I did it if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/F_gSIQ_8BSs
