So for some of these wheels you have to lift up on the locking lever(silver thing in the third picture) and then twist the axel to losen it. If your bike previously didn’t have issues, or the wheel was recently removed, the axel might not be positioned correctly. Try to make sure that both sides of the axel fit snuggly. It’s also possible that if the wheel was removed that the bike chain was not threaded properly on the rear shifter. It can be a little tricky to get the rear wheel back on.
Other options:
A spoke on the bike broke and is causing a portion to be curved out. Not sure it is just rubbing in one place or the whole wheel would be rubbing. Try testing the tension of the spokes and seeing if any of them are snapped near the center of the wheel or outside. But I would guess that it is an axel thing. I’ve had a few spokes bend and it doesn't mess it up that bad.
Was this answer helpful?
I had to use hammer to unlock axel it was blocked with rust
I'm happy you were able to solve the issue. Best of luck and enjoy riding! :)
