Hi guys i've just noticed that when i use the front brake on my hybrid the wheel pulls sideways towards the hydraulic brake. If you look at the front of the bike whilst doing it you can see the wheel move towards that side when braking if that makes sense. The bike is a team boardman hybrid with hydraulic brakes and carbon forks, any advice welcome?
Thanks

Ben

    And by hydraulic you mean disc brake?

    THat shouldn't happen of course... squeeze the spokes and see if there is tension in them

    Iused to suffer the same years ago on a mtb, it was down to flexi forks if I grabbed the brake
