August 26, 201115 yr Whilst rebuilding a 1956 Greeves, I've noticed that even though both front and rear wheels are lined up (i.e. for the MOT) the front one appears to be to one side when viewed whilst sitting astride the bike, and when measured it's about 1/2" closer to the right fork than the left. Has anyone knowledge of this with a Greeves or indeed any other model? Can it be normal? Many thanks, David
August 27, 201115 yr I dont think that would be normal for any two wheel bike David. Adjust the spokes until the wheel is centered between the fork legs.
August 27, 201115 yr Hello, If you look at any Bultaco front wheel it is always closer on one side usually the brake side. This is on all offroad model Bultacos. Bully Lover.

September 2, 201114 yr Hello again, I have had a look and the Bultacos are all closer on the left side of the bike not the right, sorry about that. That`s what you get for depending on an old top end. Bye. Bully Lover.
