Re: Front wheel wobble/vibration at speed

Well its made a hell of a difference -no more wobble up to about 95, then just a gentle vibe felt thru the bars which i guess is just the tyres.
Hope this helps

Exactly my problem. Changed the bearing, re-did the brakes, tightened the head races with the wheel still on, nothing. Took the wheel off and managed an extra quarter turn tightening them up - problem solved.
No more wheel wobble until the front tyre puncture in France.
