Good Morning Dogs
I feel like I am going mad here. I can't shake the feeling that my back wheel is out of alignment and hence I am crabbing down the road. It doesn't make sense to me because as I understand it you cannot straighten the alignment of the back wheel as it's fixed on the shaft and not on a chain. Hence no alignment necessary.
This all started a few weeks ago when I removed the front forks to change the seals. I then battled to get the steering straight until I followed a YouTube video about aligning the front forks by loosening it up and then pumping the for us up and down. This seemed to align the handlebars much better but now when I ride I get the feeling the back wheel is trying to overtake me.
Am I in fact going mad?. Is there a set way to align the front and back wheel.
Any help or advice on this would be much appreciated
Regards
