girvin / noleen linkage

[mounty70]

Am new here,wondered if any you boys had girvins or their like with bent linkage,lookin down on min from above if stems straight and lined up with top lnkage then wheel is out by about 1 inch :shock:

that doesn't sound too good :shock:

have you got a pic that show it?

 

[mounty70]

difficult to pic it,stem is in line with top of fork and bottom of fork/wheel etc is well out,looks like a main pivot bent but the fork is working ok :?

had several these types of fork and never encountered this,

I have seen bent legs after crashes so it's not impossible that one is bent throwing the wheel out of line.

Carbon doesnt bend tho,it splinters,forgot to say mine are carbon :?

 

[jimo746]

is the front wheel dished properly?

 

[mounty70]

front wheel is mint,built by gravinides so should be,it just dont make sense,

That'll be a bendy Aluminium tube wrapped in carbon, get a straight edge down the legs to check. I have a set myself.

Similar trouble here, have you slacked everything off, given it a shake and done it up again?

I'll track down the assembly instructions ... giz a mo!

Not sure if your forks are quite the same but hopefully it'll help
