Steering pulls to the same side of the curve.

[wolfgrw]

Hi! I had a fall a few months ago. The bike was parked up till now. But i'm noticing a "pulling" of the front wheel when i lean to a curve to the same side of the same curve. It's a strong pull since i have to push the handle to the opposite side to maintain control. I have no "dead center".
Can anyone help?

Best regards!

sounds like alignment

instead of string you can use 2 pcs of metal as long as they are straight.

You should also check the tire for signing of cupping and/or scalloping.

I've used the method outlined in 02's link and it works well. An easy way to see large alignment problems is have someone sit on the bike and point the front wheel to what they perceive is straight ahead while you sit on your butt in front of the bike. Most of the time, you'll be able to see if something is out of alignment.

I had a pull on my bike and head shake issues. Turned out to be bent fork tubes. Replaced the tubes with some good ones and like riding a different bike! Ofcourse try the straightening method first.
