Re spoked front wheel rubbing on fork
I ordered new stainless spokes from JRT in Australia
The thai bike mechanic who i had to fit them fits spokes to all ties of bikes but mostly small bikes.Never the less he agreed to do the work without any doubt but when i picked up the bike and was driving down the street, everything felt normal until i applied the front brake and started feeling and hearing a shuddering from the front end.
After returning to the shop we could see the tyre was rubbing on the right side fork.
Long story short we had the wheel off and on , swapping the spacers around and removed the disk again and refitted but the wheel pulls against the fork when you start to tighten the bolt.
Could this be that he tensioned the wheel wrong baring in mind he works on mostly straight patterned spoked wheels or does anyone have any other ideas. He is going to start from scratch and do it again, see if that works. However JRT sent me all the questions regarding the rim sizes and bike model etc but managed to send the set for the rear wheel too short in length.
All comments welcome
Thanks lads
