Kalkhoff aggatu c8 hs

[gesanners]

Hi,

I've just bought the Aggatu to replace my Wisper 905se. I'm very happy with it - it's good to have some brakes that actually work!

I do however have an issue with the front wheel/steering head and I wonder if this is peculiar to my bike or if anyone else has had it.

Imagine cycling on a smooth tarmac surface with little air in your front tyre. When you turn the handlebars slightly the bike snatches in that direction and then in the opposite direction when you try to correct it.

It's an odd feeling and I can't explain why it's happening. I've replaced the standard tyres with Marathon Plus but surely they wouldn't account for this?

If you have a similar bike I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Gerry.

The headstock bearing adjustment may be too tight Gerry, that can produce that effect, the bike not naturally self-centering in the ahead position.

Many thanks flecc, I'll take a look at that. Gerry.
