ok, so i got my first long bike and its been a b*tch with a few geometrical mistakes...but whatever, ill make it work!
the issue im having is the fork is sooo raked its .... near close to horizontal, and when i ride the front wheel will flop to either the left or right no matter how hard i hold the bars straight. ive got the nuts so .... tight that the front wheel barely turns (you cant make a turn on this thing anyway.) and the handle bars are a snug as i can he-man them.
is there anything i can do to keep the forks from twisting? im really trying to make this thing work, but im not sure if itll be a winner.
also, whenever the wheel/bars turn, the bottom of the bike kicks out hard to that side. like if the bars go right, the bottom tube swings out 45* to the right.
to compare with a hollywood...its about 2 feet longer...
