May 28, 201410 yr Author 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..
May 29, 201410 yr 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.....
May 29, 201410 yr 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)
May 30, 201410 yr Moderator 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.
