Re: PC800: Repair Experience
Written by rider_of_whirby on 8/3/2004 at 07:28 pm

My experience has been that a new front tire tire fixes the
shimmy for about half the tread life. On another bike
replacing the steering head bearing fixed the shimmy, no
matter how worn the front tire. Still trying to find my
tuit (the round one) for the PC.
