Have my front wheel slightly skewed from side to side as it moves around- only slighht but you can hear it just brush the discs at one point
not sure whether it was from impact or have a feeling i may have left clickers uneven for a ride.oops:doh:
easy way to fix..???

nothing to do with uneven clickers so don't worry about that.


OK so what is the real issue? When you spin the wheel it has a buckle?

Ok lets start from scratch.

Loosen the lower triple clamp & the axle clamps. Bounce the bike up & down a bit, tighten the clamps, this should make sure the front is straight if forks aren't bent which isn't likely or you'd remember doing it.

ok Block the front up & spin the wheel. Leave calliper off for now. With a marker taped to the fork you should be able to measure the deflection of the disc & of the wheel. Check spokes for tension, minor buckle can be tensioned out. Disc may not be so easy.
