I have been trying with no success to get the front end aligned. I loosened the pinch bolt on the axle, lower tree bolts, upper tree bolts, and the big 19mm bolt that holds the tree down?, and the allen bolt under that 19mm bolt.
When I put the handle bars straight with the frame then the tire is turned noticeably to the left so I tried to hold the tires between my legs and twist the handle bars to correct it but it doesn't stay. It keeps going back to the tire pointing left. If I measure from the frame to the center of the axle the right fork is 1/4" forward which is causing the tire to turn left. I know the forks and axel are not bent but could something else be bent causing this or am I just doing it wrong?
I think that if I would hold the tire between my legs while twisting the bars and keep holding it while I tighten all the bolts again that it might be straight. But should I have to do that?
This is driving me crazy so any advice is much appreciated.
