I crashed pretty bad last night. I was texting while riding and hit a pot hole.
I flew about 10 feet, luckily only minor injuries. I thought my bike was fine until I took it out a bit ago to run errands. If I ride no-handed the bike immediately veers to the left. And whilst riding, it does the same thing. I am super out of control at all times now. I noticed that the front wheel was out of alignment big time, totally uncentered. So I took it off and put it back on but I had to force it back into center position while tightening the bolts. So now both wheels are centered perfectly and my stem/handlebars are in the right position but the problem is still there. What else could it be? Really hoping I don't have to buy a new wheel set.
Any advice/info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
