Moderator Cynic Posted May 26, 2014 Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 Steering head bearings, checked those handlebar mounting rubbers?
Moderator drewpy Posted May 26, 2014 Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 are the wheels in alignment? I'd recheck the balancing too
homer382 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 just done all that.. i replaced the front wheel bearings just in case and i also changes the fork oils seals. i did notice the yellow dot on the rear tyre was not lined up so i reseated that... it has got better tho and it only has a slight wobble now when I'm traveling at 70..
tomyqss Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 its slightly better because you reseated the tyre? as far as i know the yellow dot doesn't have to be lined up with the valve, as long as its balanced properly.... where the dot is shouldn't make a difference. it usually means less weights on your wheel if its lined up though.....
Noise Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Are the spokes tight? tapping them with a spanner is a good way to check, if you get a nice ringing sound it is tight, if its a dull thud then you have a loose spoke. (do them one at a time) 1
Preload Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 +1 on checking the spokes and also checking the wheels are true.
Moderator Cynic Posted May 30, 2014 Moderator Posted May 30, 2014 On a different tack for a second. Do you have panniers? Are you bigger than average Joe, not just weight broad shoulders can do it. Are you relaxed on the bike, too tight a grip can cause shimmy.
