  • Dishing on rear wheel?

    I reckon this or the wheel ain't in the dropouts straight or over tight headset. Or one enlarged testis.

  • Bad cabling can sometimes pull bars one way or the other. Also +1 re checking headset.

  • Generally a headset issue. Too tight? Notched?

  • Someone elsewhere had a similar problem and it turned out to be uneven tyre wear.

  • Maybe attach a piece of string to the handlebars and tie it to the seatpost?

  • Maybe have scoble apply a kidney punch to the right?

  • Ride on the wrong side of the road and see if you tend to the right.. If so it's the road camber ;)

    *Make sure there are no cars coming

  • Have you got a No-Fork?

  • Thanks for your replies,its definately not the road camber,im thinking of the rear wheel being out of dish or the headset.Is there any case the bearings are smaller than the headtube diameter?i found out that there are different integrated bearing diameters(41.8-46-45mm)...

  • I reckon the forks are still out of alignment.
    Just because they are new, doesnt mean they are true. Perhaps damaged in transit? Are they steel or carbon forks?

  • Check whether the headset is (false-)brinelled, or if it's adjusted properly.

  • Maybe you have an issue with your inner-ear.

  • But seriously though, it's a track frame and so designed to naturally turn left on its own.

  • Do not rule out bent frame, many 'new' frames can come with bad alignment. Had it happen to me on a MTB frame once.

  • Seems stupid, but could be either your stem isnt straight to wheel and needs adjusting? Or your wheel isnt sitting in the fork dropouts properly?

  • Your bike has had a stroke.

  • Of what?

  • Luck

  • a wee dog

  • Your bike has had a stroke.

    Haha!
