Bad steering head bearings?
Did they do a fork service or anything else?

Also the balance should be checked. I take it off, use the axle shaft in a vice, with a 2x4 cut to length to hold it level. Put the wheel on it, and spin it real slow, seeing where the heavy side is, it will go down to the bottom.

They are available at lots of places online; I think Motion-Pro's price is $10 for a set of 2. Having 3 is better, and MP does sell singles. Don't even waste your time with shorter irons! I used shorter ones for years and they are horrible - not enough leverage. Ed

Used these same tire irons last week to mount my new Bridgestone tires and they work very well. Am a believer in saving money and changing your own tires. Thay way you can be sure it is done right.
