Hey guys my bike pulls hard as hell to the left sometimes and others to the right. mainly on the street b/c the tires have more grip but what the hell is this all about? my bars are bent down to the left as well(they are not level). I have even tire psi and the only known lil thing is that the left tire is pointing in about a half inch more than the right. how can i fix this? and what about the bars? get new ones? get a new clamp? thanks

Sounds like a bent tie rod.

check you tow in.. your front tires should be 3 degrees in the front.. so the front of the tires should point towards the middle.. check you tie rod and see it its bent.. you can bend it back if you want to.. I did that to mine..

well can't i just adjust the nut thats on the end of the tie rod? won't that bring the tire in or out? the tierod was bent but we straightned it back out and its straight as can be now

what caused the bars to be bent? a rollover?
does it pull while on 2 wheels too? if it only pulled one way all the time I would say tie rod ,however, with it pulling both ways at random I would lean more toward a bent axle, or a bent rim or worse, a tweaked frame.

i got hung up w/ a tree w/ just that one wheel.....it seams to be ok now though i messed w/ that bolt and it seams to ride straight
