front wheel off-kilter fix?

[wilsont6]

Does anyone own a "Butt Buddy"? Saw it advertised at www.sporttour.com for $15. The price is right if someone can give me a good review of it. Thanks, JT Wilson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Is that the same place that sells the coolanol?

Not elegant but this method has worked for me and others. Grab hold of the handlebar. Kick the wheel at the tire area in the desired direction. Don't be afraid to kick hard till it's where you want it. Bogdan
