Can I take the fork into a LBS and have them align it? It is a steel for from a bike in the mid 80s.
Thanks,
Am I reading this wrong? The width should be 100mm, not 110+5. It's a standard road bike from the 80's? Do you have to pull the fork blades to the hub with the nuts, or quick release? If so, have the fork blades reset and aligned.
You can do a quick check of alignment using the front wheel. Insert fully into the dropouts and see if it's centered relative to the fork blades or steerer tube. That doesn't mean that the head tube is in plane however.
Has the bike always done this?
