Out of round front wheel - Snowflake

[Kurt in S.A.]

Been seeing some ads for something called the Soloshot. It's a camera on a tripod that follows you around. It follows a device that you wear. Seems kind of interesting.

2000 foot range. Is that very far?

I reckon you've tweaked the fork alignment, or loosened the preload on the headstem bearings. More likely a preload issue.
I've ridden with significantly bent forks after hitting a roo and can say that the only thing I noticed was the handlebars were crooked. And very slow left handers felt a bit weird. Otherwise the handling was good at speed.

You should have seen the front wheel I took of my RS a year ago, it had turned into a dodecagon shaped, warped disc.
Still handled supremo.
I think if you get dents all round the wheel, it sort of balances itself out.

Taking it out to Mikey in Martindale this Saturday...one helluva resource to have not so far from home. He seems to think there's a flatspot based on what I told him about it and he's got some replacements for me to choose from.

Thanks for the contact @Rob, much appreciated!

Mikey is a good guy.
He sold me a gearbox at a good price.
Mikey was always highly recommended by Matt, who makes this forum possible. They even used to be competitors when Matt was in business.

A dodecagon is a 12-sided polygon.

Dodecagon
The regular dodecagon, illustrated above, is constructible, and can be denoted using the Schläfli symbol {12}.

Australian 50-cent piece
The Australian 50-cent piece is dodecagonal, as illustrated above.
Sorry, illustration missing.
