It feels like the front wheel is kinda doing that shopping trolly thing!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Goff Posted May 17, 2008 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2008 What do you mean that its doing the "shopping trolley" thing? Im concerned because it could be you are experiencing high speed weave or high speed wobble.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iomrob Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 ok if it feels like the front wheel is weaving , a number of things could be. front wheel bearings front wheel buckled head stock bearings front tyre, it could be the balancing of it, are the weights still on the rim, or it could be the tyre its self. is the bike new , or second hand , has it been in a crash, cause it could be a bent frame if its been crashed are you sure its the front end thats moving {i know that sounds daft but} rear end moving could give you the feeling that its the front end moving . are the tyres well worn?

Moderator drewpy Posted May 18, 2008 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2008 look for flat spots on both tyres as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
