[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 21073, member: 59"] Perhaps the easiest way to test out Norman's theory would be to swap the sides of the front brake plates and reverse that wheel. Not so easy with the D rear unless a second drum is fitted. Is it possible that the new wheels have been built true and concentric but with the hubs off centre? I have found my Knight to be sensitive to changes in front tyre wear or pressure, not pulling but wobbling, weaving and feeling most unstable. The rear, in my case tubeless is totally forgiving of pressure faults down to about 4psi although this does make it impossible to deviate from a straight line without grounding the stand. Another question for Mostyn may be, does the pulling occur regardless of crossfall, application of power or brakes, or could any of these be blamed? Cheers, [/QUOTE]
