fixing a problem
Greeting from SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. I haven't been on the site for a while. Well, the weather is changing and I am ready for some sun shine and a few good rides.
I was having problems with wobbling of the front end,when coming to a stop. It would happen around 40-50 mph and when I did not have a good grip on the bars. Thanks to this site,I had my front bearing adjusted. No more wobbling front end. However,now the bike ( Hertiage 2000 ) wants to track a straight line. It is not smooth and hard in the curves. It reminds me of my friend's Gold Star. It just wants to go straight. And when I get on a road with those saw cuts in them for the rain run off,the whole bike wobbles. Not a good thing,especially at high speeds.
There was an article in the local paper about a man who just purchased a new Hertiage for his wife. And while ridding the bike home with his wife following him in a car, he lost control and hit a pole and died. His wife said,she noticed the bike wobbling just before he went down. He had been ridding for over 30 years. Conclusion, you can adjust the front bearings Too Much. I have since had my bearings readjusted,no more tracking a straight line,no more bike wobbling and if I get a wobbling in the front at slow speeds, I will live with it.
