steering problems
Hey "Onewheelers"
I looped the "two Wheel Baby" today in practice, spanked her up in first instead of second by mistake.
When she hit the floor she hit real had I guess because now when I hole the front brake the handle bar pulls to the right. I have already pulled the whole front end apart looking for a bent fork or some tell tail sign that could explain this.
So heres a few things I did already;
Pull both forks and check for bends, Compress both forks to determine if any of um had been internally dammaged from crash,
I had a friend ride the bike while I checked for miss alignment of wheels,
checked tripple crowns by sliding both poles in and out. I also did a visual inspection of them, this was done by standing in front of bike with poles removed and seeing weather or not I could see the back wall of either side of the tripple clamp.
Pull the brake caliper, this was done because the wheel is now unable to freewheel like before. BUT I did'nt find anything wrong with it.
I did try my best to strighten the brake disc but it still rubs a little, atleast it freewheels a little better
With the exception of NO# 6, none of these tests revealed any problems all was fine. I Can't seem to find the RAT. Later on today I am going to have somone else look at wheels while I ride to see weather or not they are misalligned.
Need some help on this one!
