wobbly wheel?

[Dragonfly]

whats that all about?

i went for a spin yesterday and it felt as if my bike was wobbling.

checked the tires they are ok. but it dosnt feel right.

feels like the wheel is bent or something.

i know i need bearings and brake pads is it something to do with that?

Can you wiggle the wheel from side to side, any sideways movement may indicate a dodgy wheel bearing.

Replace the wheel bearings and that should help.

Is it front or rear?

the back wheel is not stright! i took it up to bike shop after it scared the hell out of me and they looked at it and seen it right away. ieveryone said there was nothing wrong with it but i could feel it.

the brakes are shoes or something at the back and are making really load noices to embarassing level also.

if my axle is not bent then its good enough. how i didnt notice this until now?

cheap jap crap!

How far out was your back wheel? If it'd been like that for a while and your wobble was only recent it may not necessarily have been the cause. It's not that hard to automatically adjust your weight when riding to keep it straight, without even realising you are doing it. I would expect you to feel more of a wobble when it had been fixed cos you will still be riding to compensate for it for a bit!

Your wobble could also possibly be due to you having squared off your tyres.

If they are getting a bit square, just a bit of a change in road surface can make your bike feel wobbly even in a straight line, and it may feel like it wants to sit back up as you lean into turns.

they had a look at the bike shop its not on right or something and the bearigs have maybe collapsed causing it to wobble even more.

its a Lifan (need i say anymore) cheap parts and put together like crap.

getting the wheel on right today and the bearings taken out and hopefully wont cause as much hassel as trying to get non existant chain and sprockets for it.

people dont buy a Lifan or chinese make you never heard of. you cant get parts.

Definately looks wrong. Strongly suspect that a bearing has collapsed.
Replacing the bearings should be easy though, despite the manufacturer. All bearings have a universal code stamped on them, and can be sourced cheaply. i have a local bearing shop which excells in providing better quality than originals at half the price. I am sure if you look in the yellow pages you will find someone with them on the shelf. The fact that the wheel has twisted is the cause of your brake noise as the caliper will be fixed straight and the wheel is askew.

My 1st and only highside occured when a rear wheel bearing collapsed causing the chain to jump and lock the back wheel.

Get it fixed asap.
