davidm Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviob Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullylover Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks for that. I'm going to check again with my straight edge.

bullylover Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
