Right...here's my problem!
Just rebuilt my 500a....dropped the front wheel in...there is quite a bit of play in the fork dropouts so this means the axle moves around a bit, so when you tighten the thing up and stand it on its wheels the front wheel is kicked over making it all out of line....now its not a massive amount but its noticeable and im a bit of a perfectionist!
I was wondering if there is like a locator missing or something (can any 500a owners chirp in)?
It has original Redline forks and Ukai rims so all that bit is right...driving me mental! :tickedoff:

:) Have you measured the axle diameter & the slot diameter? Some forks need wheel centering washers.. :daumenhoch:

You mean the ones with the tab on that hooks in the forks? If so i cant use these as there are no holes in the fork dropouts.....
Or the droput saver style ones?

:) Think they`re known as tophat washers,often needed for Haro forks.

You need the wheel retaining washer/top hat as previous poster mentions.

strange.i've had spoke wheels and skyways on mine and never had that problem.
i wonder if you have smaller axles fitted like on some of the suntour hubs ?.
oh yeah and lets have a look at it :daumenhoch:
