Hi all,
I searched around the web for some info about it and didn't find anything.
(but maybe it's a lack of technical vocabulary for searching the right thing)
Long story short I've bought my first bmx this week and I noticed a problem around the fork.
The bike came with 2 pegs (right side).
I didn't notice it at first, but the front peg was not straight with the wheel axle.
I did I the bike check this afternoon, and well, I don't know what to think about it.
First pic : peg removed. You might see that the end of the right branch of the fork is bent (on the left, lol I took the photos from the front of the bike, so...).
Close up on the end of the left branch. Looks okay.
Close up on the end of the right branch. Looks .. well.. "less okay".
I think the bearings, etc of the wheel are not dead yet. I've held the axle in my hands and let the wheel turn, I've heard a few clicks but nothing scary. The threaded part is bent.
An ultimate shitty attempt at showing a global picture.
I'm a bit worried about this, as the bike is really CLEAN actually (I've bought a lot of second hand road bikes and mtbs, and none of them were in such a nice shape lol).
There's almost no scratches, the seat is like new, the wheels are true, etc. etc.
It looks like the hub is noo narrow for the fork width.
As we are supposed to tighten and lock the nut on the fork, I don't see a better solution than putting some kind of spacers on each side, between the hub and the fork, to get that missing width back.
The wheels are stock (same brand and look as the frame). They should be fitting... o___o
Maybe the previous owner fucked up something when he has installed the pegs.
Any ideas ?
I t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ hope it's not a big problem, any wrench-ninja help would be truly welcome.
