Bent Bars; Stupid Question
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2007 1:20 am
OK, so I dumped the Baggy a couple weeks ago after hitting some oil on the grounds of my storage unit complex (irrelevant, really); Anyway, the stock bars bent slightly, so I put some Pro Taper SE CR Hi bars on (love 'em), but the bars don't quite line up square when the front tire is uniformly straight. The bars are off to the right about 3/4 inch.
If I put the bars full-lock left and whack them pretty hard, the bars shift to the left and are even-steven again. They don't shift out of position just by my throwing them around and stopping suddenly, but clearly something needs tightening and I've lost confidence in whatever that connecting point is.
I'm a total mechanical noob. Somebody please tell me what it is that's come loose?
