Steering geometry

Post by GIJoeBob »

I recently took apart the front end of my 87 Elite 50 to paint it. I got it back together and it does not feel the same, like the bike wants to lean or turn slightly. When putting it back together I didn't notice any way to adjust the front end and I didn't remove the stem from the handlebars.

Is it possible for the front end to get our of alignment and if so how can it be adjusted?
Thanks

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong area. Can a mod move this to the tech portion of the forum? Thanks.

The little pinch bolt between the forks and handlebars can be out of adjustment but its pretty obvious.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

I would think so but I didn't even touch that part of the forks.
