Hello. I have just bought an entry level road bike, and at this stage I am learning to ride it (have never ridden a road bike; nor any other bike in a long time). But the front wheel keeps swinging to 90 degrees when not moving. It has a life of its own.
It is also making me worried to turn when I am on the bike because it swings to such an angle. (Unless the steering is so delicate). So I can’t really turn in case of being thrown off. When I’m riding straight however the wheel stays straight.
It’s a brand new bike. Should the wheel be able to turn 90? And if not, do I need to tighten the front of the bike somehow? It also means if I try to walk and push it along with the seat it’s impossible of course because the wheel swings round.
Any advice welcome. Apologies if a stupid question.
