Hi,

Any other Scale 30 2008 owners out there? If so do you find your front wheel 'flexes' slightly to the left if you ram on the front break i.e. pull a bit of an endo?

Mine does.. a little worrying.. :)

    sounds like your wheel needs looking at.

    Never felt anything like that on mine... as above, sounds more like the wheel.

    hmmm the wheel does flex if you 'push' it to one side, as does the rear wheel. Guy in the shop said its natural wheel flex... I reckon its more the fork... iirc it does not happen when locked out

    Dilker, is there any chance you could do a small endo next time and look at the front wheel :)?

    I'll have to get my frame back and rebuild the bike first. Just claiming because my BB housing was lose in the carbon :C whens it's built i'll try just for you. :)

    I've just tested my Hoops and there is minimal flex in them.

    I assume the forks are Fox32 RL 80/100 or some such. What wheels are on it?

    Head set a little lose??
