    1 thing after another I swear, i've had enough,

    It was the thud thud thud coming from the front, bearings was suggested so I changed those, then I bought new Bars and Brakes and Throttle, FINALLY got all that on and put the Bike back together, just went to test it and the thuds still there, plus some rubbing somewhere, and im pretty sure the back disc is wonky, and theres rubbing on the front disc aswell....

    Does anyone know a person or place in Cardiff I can just take the Bike to and they can keep it for the day/week whatever and just sort it all out and then give me the price?

    loose pins?

    I changed the Wheel Bearings as alot of people said it was probably that causing the thud noise, but earlier I could actually feel it I think through the Bars so not sure what that could be as its not the Bearings...
    earlier my Brother started the Bike and pulled the Throttle and forgot the Chain was still on the back Wheel and then when I was testing the Throttle (my new one) I noticed the Brake Disc was wonky, and now it rubs alot on a certain bit and is hard to turn yourself (did a video which i'll put on YouTube) so looking at a new Disc Brake?
    and then pushing the Bike into my garden I was listening for that thud but noticed the front Disc was rubbing aswell now....
    plus i put my new Brake Master Cylinders on, front one seems to work fine, but the back one you really have to pull it, not sure how to sort that? its the same Cable etc etc, theres new fluid in both...

    its seriously 1 thing after another, havent been on the Bike for over a week as its been in pieces etc and i've been waiting for new parts, gets it all back together earlier thinking YAY I can not enjoy the weather... goes for a quick ride to test it before i get my Bar Grips.. and its just thud and rubbing in different places, annoying!

    the head bearings can be tightened by the nut on the top of the forks ..under where your handle bars go on..didnt you check the head bearings..push the bike forwards on the front brake like i was saying last time..or put the bike on its stand,get someone to sit on it and with the front wheel off the ground...push and pull firmly forwards and back wards and see if you feel any movement..if you do,theres a big nut on top under the bars...do that up till you cant feel any thing and you should be fine
