Simon Davey Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 No technical expertise needed, that's not good at all. I don't know why, but I just watched that over and over again, quite hypnotic... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWithStyles Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) yea needs sorting sooner than later. also to note,near bold tyre on right side?

RideWithStyles Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) , but i would still pay attention to pressure and suspension, your wallet will thank you. Edited May 22 by RideWithStyles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 That's not unusual as the miles get higher. There will be small pits in the bearing races that the balls are setting into in the straight ahead position. They will be tiny and when riding the bike you wouldn't even notice the effect. It only shows when the front wheel is off the ground and allowed to float freely. So basically it needs sorting but at that stage you could ride the bike without noticing any ill effects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
