My front wheel has been off-center for a bit since it was new. It has gotten worse and worse to a point now the handle bar is turned noticeably right while the bike is going straight.
Last week I dumped the bike on a small rocky uphill climb, (I got pinned under the bike! ![]() I searched up for some alignment instructions and all that is written is align and then tighten the triple tree top nut. I noticed the top nut wasn't tight and I could turn it by hand with a socket on it. I tried to loosen the fork clamps (2 in the middle and 1 on top), pull the right folk with a tie-strap, and pull the top clamp with another strap so the wheel points to as far right as it will go. I then proceeded to tighten the top 30mm nut to 50 ft-lbs. I then tighten the forks. The front wheel, again, would not stay center for long. Looking down the forks from top, I can see they are not parallel enough. However, other then tightening the top nut on the triple, I am out of ways to align them. (Maybe a fork brace?) I also compared my wheel speed sensor from the digital gauge to the old unit, and they are identical in size. Please let me know any other methods I can try to align the front wheel. I am wondering if my forks are damaged! (They look straight to me)... ![]()
