Bike sways to the right

Hey another problem. . . :(
when im riding my bike it wants to go to the right i mean if i try and do no hands it will veer off to the right, any ideas, the only thing i can think off is the bar end brake lever is on the right and the cable points to the right :S

Wheel(s) out of true?

Forks are bent?

Front wheel not aligned with stem?

Poor balance?

Every time I had this issue with a car I owned, the answer was, invariably, 'check your alignment.'

wheels fine, forks could be a possiblity from a crash. . .

how impossible if it bending steel forks back?

Headset too tight?

Give it a try and find out. :)

Headset too tight?

+1, didn't think of that.

Headset too tight?
hmm possible, will definatley look into that, thanks everyone, very helpful :D shall try and sort it tommorrow and will report back :)

if it swerves to the right, it usually indicates that either A] frame is bent or B] forks are bent or C] both are bent.

it's better if it B] cos its easier to correct.

in any case, you will need to see a bike shop with "proper" mechanic that can identify the problem, and then fix it appropriately.

unless that is you want to try finding out yourself what is bent.... Sheldon has a rough and ready method for gauging the straightness of a frame... and you only need a long piece of string to do it. as for fixing it yourself, hmm, that's a bit difficult without a jig of some sort

Sometimes it can be as simple as a brake cable pulling your handlebars one way or another, this is easy to check.

It could also be due to rear wheel being off centre - either for a dishing/spacing issue or a bent frame.

i know for a fact its not the latter as the rear wheel is centered and dished correctly, i think it may be the brake cable going to the front brake, im going to have a fiddle with it after i have woken up properly lol

Is it racist?

Your bike is gay. Just accept it. You can't force a gay bike to go straight.

lol

whack the ends of your forks in a grid and give them a good kickin

sound, appropriate, measured advice. couldn't ask for more.

do you dress to the right?

Fucking fail bike :'( £200 quid and i get a fucked BB shell and bent forks . . .

You could bend that back no problem.

how should i go about it?

i read that and now realise it offers no advice on how to practically do it but does give hope

doesnt really explain that well, so i just sort of clamp it and then pull it?

Your pic doesn't indicate that the forks are bent. You've just drawn two random lines and seen that they don't lie in the middle of the forks?
