Hi, After not riding my bike for 10 days, I climb on and immediately notice that at low speed the steering angle feels a little weird. Difficult to describe, if it was a BMX :p I'd say the fork or frame was bent a bit. I.e. it takes a little more effort to turn against the steering head angle when the bike is moving at say 30km/h. What could this be?

Put the bike on the centre stand, checked the operation of the steering head bearings, all seems good. Seems something has changed my steering angle/geometry ever so slightly to a more relaxed angle/more rake. Checked tyre pressure and I'm now starting to fiddle with the suspsension setup... but how could this just go out of tune all on it's own? Any ideas?  ???
