Hello Michael, you may have your headstem tube in backwards which would give the symptoms you describe, the spindle hole is to the rear where its offset, regards Jim
Of course the bleeding obvious.
I would like to say in my defense that that's how it came, and that I haven't dismantled it,
And other muttered comments as I shamefully turn the head stem tube the correct way
Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees!
I hope this was a lesson to you all .......
Thanks Jim and everyone else.
I hope this gave you a chuckle
Cheers Michael (or "wrongway " as I might now be known!!)
