handle bar wobble

[plod202]

i changed my tyres to avon storm, they last realy well about 10k over two years to and from work, there is a slight wobble but after hearing about tyre pressures i rememberd that when i changed them the guy at the tyre garage had them at 36, i lowerd them to 33 and got the woble back, i'll now re-inflate to 36 see what happens

yes mine wobles between 29mph and 38mph looking into tyre pressures to see if that makes a difference

It's just discontinued. Everything else seems to be OK.

I have tried everything except tightening the steering stem. I just order a spanner socket on EBay for $48 dollars US. I'm going fix it, what ever it takes. I make some long trips, 200 to 750 miles and really don't feel good with the wheel wobble.

has any body changed the headset bearings them self?
did you have to press the tapered bearing onto the triple headset

Food for thought, but I can basically check my tire pressure by taking my hands off the bar.

But its quite different than others describe; I have never felt any wobble at any speed with my hands on the bar. After reading this thread quite some time ago, I was astonished at the low speed wobble (25-35MPH?) It was quite pronounced. But I had never noticed any wobble of any kind until the experiment. That's sounds different from what you are observing.

As a side note, I had a small tire pressure gauge in my saddle bag that I discovered was quite far off. For me, I believe that was a contributor to the problem.

Good Luck.
