RE: [Honda-C70] changed tires and now front wheel has issues ????

Thadd: I had a similar problem when I replaced my front tire & new brakes . The front tire pulled left when I used the brake . So I loosened the axle nut just a bit & the wheel then wobbled . To get it just right I marked a line on the end of the axle to show where the cotter pin hole was. I then turn the castle nut 1 notch at a time & test rode several times until I got no wobble & no side pull . Put the cotter pin back in & left it alone. But at no time did I get resistance to spinning the wheel so I wonder if your speedometer drive may not be assembled right & causing binding . The drive needs to fit in a notch. Hope this helps . Good Luck! Baby Huey
