KingSizer Posted June 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2008 Well, I finally had a chance to take a closer look to see what caused my front end wobble/bounce after I had put on new brake pads and new metzeler tire on the front. After several of your suggestions about fork brace, warped rotors, stuck calipers, wheel bearings, etc., it turns out that the tire was simply not mounted properly to the wheel. The darn thing was never beaded all the way to the rim. You should have seen the looks on their faces when I took it back to the bike shop where I got the tire and I told them I almost went in to a ditch because of such a simple, overlooked issue. At least they remounted and balanced it the right way this time. Thanks for all your suggestions and especially to those who offered to give me some free rotors, but I don't think I'll be needing them right now, as the wobble/shaking seems to be fixed now. btw, this site is awesome!!!
